Woman, 80, takes horse for joyride

An elderly Russian woman was arrested - after she stole her neighbour's stallion on her 80th birthday to tick off one her dreams on her bucket list.

Agrafena Vasilyevna was quizzed by police for rustling after sreeping into neighbour Igor Vasilev's stable, saddled up his horse Lyme and galloped away

When she returned an hour later she found her neighbour and a police car waiting for her.

Mrs Vasilyevna, from Tverskaya, told stunned officers that she had always wanted to ride a horse but had never had the chance.

"They told me off but it was worth it. I've fulfilled a dream I've had since childhood and I was running out of time," she said.

"I've got a few more things on my list so people should stand by to be shocked."
