Postman Pat and the Grumpy Pony is the twenty-fourth episode of Postman Pat Season 5. It was written by Diane Redmond.

Summary

Pat and Ted are planning on going fishing. However, beforehand Ted must fix Amy's Horsebox.

Meanwhile Amy takes Meera for a ride on Pumpkin. Pumpkin is behaving badly because he is meant to be on a diet. As a result he eats Reverend Timms roses and apples from the tree. While walking past the river, Pumpkin refuses to go past for a dislike of water. Pat then arrives and agrees to fetch Ted and the Horsebox

When he arrives at The Mill, Pat can't find Ted and he is wearing earmuffs so cannot hear Pat's calls. Pat then decides to take the Horsebox to Amy without Ted. In doing so he traps Ted in the Horsebox and it is still not fixed. The Horsebox then becomes loose of the Lorry, and rolls away in the opposite direction.

It eventually arrives where Pumpkin and the others are and Ted is not hurt. Ted is able to fix the toolbox, however Pumpkin won't get onboard. Eventually Hay entices Pumpkin to get in the Horebox.

Goofs

• When Pat delivers Mr Pringle’s letters to Charlie, P.C. Selby's name can clearly be seen on a letter.
• The Horsebox would not travel that far or fast on such a flat, bumpy road.
• How could Pat drive Ted’s Lorry without the keys unless Ted forgot they were there when he returned to the workshop.
• At some points, the brim of Pat’s hat is coming off.
• When Amy says, “Right Pat!” her lips aren’t moving.
• Ted should have cleared the straw out of the horsebox if he was using a blowtorch to avoid a fire.
• It’s a wonder how Ted didn’t get injured while being moved around in the horsebox.
• When Ted walks out of the horsebox before Pat arrives, his van can be seen stuck on the left handside of the screen before he parks next to Ted's lorry.
• In the first shot of water mill, there is a tree on the left. However, when Pat arrives, the tree is gone.
• In the shot before the lorry hits the bumps on the road, a finger is scene on the top left corner of the screen.
