Well, you have now as Tommy the Tyke is the mascot for this year’s Sandal Scarecrow Festival.

He saddled up on Cheeky, the smallest of the ponies at Wakefield Riding for the Disabled, the charity for which he’ll be raising money between now and the festival weekend of September 23 and 24. There will also be a competition to guess his companion pup’s name.
