Leona Lewis' 'pony' surprise birthday present!

London, Apr 7 (ANI): Leona Lewis' friends gave her a rather 'galloping' surprise present for her birthday- a sponsored horse.

The 'Bleeding Love' hit-maker's parents, mates and boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa travelled all the way to LA to give her a surprise on her big day.

They, then took the thrilled singer to a Thai restaurant, and gave her a sponsored horse as a gift.

"Leona is besotted with horses. It's a bit pricey to splash out one of her own so they did the next best thing and donated money to sponsor one for her in LA," The Mirror quoted a pal as saying.

The friend added: "She was overwhelmed by everyone's efforts." (ANI)
