Kicker: Passenger pony

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Earlier this week, a visitor to an Australian McDonalds drive thru looked over to the next lane and couldn't believe her eyes...

CLIP: [WINDOW ROLLING DOWN] Is that a horse in your car?

At first, Donna Bevan thought it was a really large dog, but it was a Shetland pony in the backseat of the compact car.

CLIP: That's Rocco. Hi Rocco!

I wonder how often she takes the horse to the drive thru a lot, or just a spur of the moment thing?

BROWN: Good question. What I want to know is what’s a horse order off the McDonalds’ menu anyway?

REICHARD: I'm guessing that it's something with mayo-neighs or maybe a McFlurry as it's all stirr-up?

BROWN: You're close…

CLIP: He's excited for his ice cream...

REICHARD: That's haylarious.
