No Horsing Around! Teen Can't Ride To School

Haverford, Pa. -- Whoa! There will be no more horsing around for a suburban Philadelphia teen who's been commuting to school on his trusty steed. Roby Burch had been riding his horse Jet about four miles each way to the private Haverford School. He was keeping the horse in a corral on school grounds.

Burch told The Philadelphia Inquirer that school trustees decided in October that the horse was a liability. The teen then began keeping Jet at his uncle's house nearby. However, Burch said Jet hurt his hoof from the repeated trips over pavement. Another family horse twice escaped while Burch was in class. Now he's getting a ride from his parents. The 16-year-old hopes to get his driver's license in February.
