Heart attack claims Prince Harry's fav pony
London, May 9 (ANI): A heart attack claimed the life of Prince Harry's favourite pony during a polo match in Coworth Park in Ascot, Berkshire.
On hearing the death of Drizzle, a 10-year-old brown and white mare, Harry broke down, reports The Telegraph.
The pony died at a charity match between a team in which both the princes were playing, and one fielded by the sponsor Audi.
Drizzle was one of a number of polo ponies stabled close to the Prince of Wales's Highgrove estate near Tetbury in Gloucestershire.
The Prince of Wales himself used to ride her until he gave up competitive polo in 2005.
Both Princes William and Harry decided not to attend a lunch after the game, because they were so upset. (ANI)
