Woman won pet lookalike competition for looking like her horse

A woman from Plymouth in Devon has won a pet lookalike competition after sending in a photo of her posing with her horse. When Angie Fuller, 41, entered the Broadway shopping centre's 'Picture Purrrfect' competition last month, which called upon owners who resembled their pets to come forward, she had no expectations of coming first.



But after being crowned champion last week for her supposed similarities with horse Moomin, camera-shy Angie said she was delighted to have bagged the £50 voucher. "I'm not really into having my picture taken," she said. "But we sent one in on behalf of the Ponderosa Pony Rescue Centre where Moomin is based.



"I can't say I think I look like Moomin, but others have said we're very similar in terms of our character. Apparently, we're both stubborn," she joked. "Moomin has never been ridden so she's always been very much left to her own devices. I volunteer at the centre so have spent a lot of time working with Moomin and we've grown quite attached. Winning this competition was certainly a surprise, but I'm so happy to have won the voucher for the centre.



"The money will now be split between the pony centre where I work and Rottweiler Friends, which is where our family dog Winnie is from." While Angie believes her success was down to the fact she was one of the few candidates to pose with a horse, event organiser and Broadway centre manager Deborah Potter has since revealed it was in fact because they both appeared to be so happy in their picture.
