A British horse rescue charity is looking for a pair of pyjamas to fit a large equine.

''She currently has a rug that protects her when she is outdoors in the fields, but it's far from being a perfect fit and tends to rub against her

Owners at HorseWorld near Bristol are on the hunt for some large clothing for the 7ft-high four-legged beast, called Gracie May, because she suffers an allergic reaction to midge bites.

Karen Hardwick, visitor centre yard manager, explained: ''We have been struggling to keep Gracie May's itching under control.

''She currently has a rug that protects her when she is outdoors in the fields, but it's far from being a perfect fit and tends to rub against her. She badly needs something suitable for wearing indoors when she is in her stable here at Whitchurch - a pyjama suit would fit the bill.''
