An 80-year-old woman takes horse for birthday joyride

Agrafena Vasilyevna was quizzed by police for rustling when she pinched her neighbor's stallion on her 80th birthday to tick off one her dreams on her bucket list.

Agrafena - from Tverskaya, Russia - told police she had always wanted to ride but had never had the chance.

So she crept into neighbor Igor Vasilev's stable, saddled up his horse Lyme and galloped away. When she returned an hour later she found her neighbor and a police car waiting for her.

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