Stunned diners watched on in amazement as Debbie Murden, 42, maneuvered the huge stallion to a KFC window and placed her order.

But that was only after a McDonald's refused her order - because it was deemed too dangerous to serve her when she was in the carriage.

Debbie, from Pinxton, Nottinghamshire, said she was shocked by the refusal as she rides her horse and carriage all over the area - even stopping off at pubs and restaurants along the way.

Just days before she had used the carriage to purchase food from the same McDonald's outlet. She told the BBC: 'They said it was dangerous 'I'm not sure who they meant it was dangerous for, them or us or other people in the drive-through. But there was no danger there.

'I got in touch with McDonald's head office and asked why, if horses and motorbikes are not allowed through, are there no signs to say so? And why is it different from branch to branch?'
