DAVE MUSTAINE HAS A PONY

Dave Mustaine plays many roles in life. He’s a brilliant songwriter, a great guitarist, an existing singer, a devout Christian, and an ignorant bigot. But did you know that he’s also a pony owner?

It’s true! I absolutely did not Photoshop the above picture, which comes from a piece in Spin on Mustaine’s littly pony. Mustaine tells the publication:

“We found him living in a parking lot with a bunch of junk cars around him. He had a little soul, and we just felt it when we saw him. We knew that he needed our help, you know? His hair was ruined, he was in really bad shape, he didn’t like people. And now he’s the friendliest horse — he’ll come running up to you no matter where you’re at. We live in kind of a hilly area. The coyotes, they come and lie down by him ’cause they know that he’s not a threat.”

Well, gee, that actually sounds… nice. I would think Mustaine would immediately kick the horse and tell it to get a job on account of the color of it’s coat, but I guess he’s color blind when it comes to living things that aren’t humans.
