No horsing around: Couple keeps pet steed outside NYC home

Who says you need a car in the city? On most days, a couple from Staten Island can been seen riding their pet horse around their neighborhood.

The rest of the time, "Morgi" is "parked" in their Tompkinsville driveway.

"It's amazing," owner Abdul Elanani said. "It's fun. It gets my mind off a lot of things."

Initially, Elanani and his wife Ayat Masoud kept the horse boarded at a stable in New Jersey. But when they moved to Staten Island, they learned there is no law prohibiting residents from owning horses as pets.

The couple spent nearly $5,000 building a custom stall in their driveway for Morgi.
