Hermaphrodite pony finds friendship with donkey
‘For most of his life the Shetland pony, who has both male and female genitalia, was thought to be a mare and went by the name of Amy.
And to add to his confusion he has been taken into care, undergone a sex change operation and been re-homed - only to be shunned by his peers.
But now Tootsie - named after Dustin Hoffman’s cross-dressing character in the film of the same name - finally appears to be settling in at the Bransby Home of Rest for Horses, near Lincoln.
And he has found an unlikely friend - in stablemate Derek the donkey.’
