Striped Surprise for Shetland Pony Tuesday June 26 9:15 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com LONDON (Reuters) - What do you call a cross between a pony and a zebra? That is the question puzzling employees at a visitors' farm in northwest England, where a Shetland pony recently gave birth to a foal bearing an uncanny resemblance to a zebra. ``She's beautiful,'' said Jim Peet of the Eden Ostrich World farm in Cumbria. ``Very much like a zebra but instead of being white, she's brown. The stripes are quite definite, from the tip of her ears to the tip of her tail,'' he told BBC radio on Tuesday. The pony came to the farm from a local circus, where she had been penned with a zebra so the two could keep each other company, he said.

One of the most legendary live dates in rock and roll history, the show featured an extensive guest list that included Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Dr. John, Emmylou Harris, Muddy Waters, Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood and others. The event was captured on film by director Martin Scorsese. ************************************************************************* Byrds member McGuinn to release 'Treasures' LOS ANGELES - Founding Byrds member and folk-rock pioneer Roger McGuinn will release "Treasures From The Folk Den" Sept. 4 via Appleseed Records.
