Drunken Ted Kennedy spoils Irish Christmas party

Dublin - Staff at an Irish riding school were forced to postpone festivities after Ted Kennedy chomped his way through 200 mince pies and several cans of Guinness intended for their Christmas party.

Kennedy, starring in the riding school's Santa's Magical Animal Kingdom show, helped himself to the feast while staff were getting changed for the party.

"Ted found his way out of his pen and helped himself," Robert Fagan, owner of the Mullingar Equestrian Centre in central Ireland, said.

Kennedy, originally from the United States, cracked open six cans of Ireland's famous stout with his teeth after the door to his stall was left open.

Kennedy appeared well after Monday evening's feeding frenzy, Fagan said, adding: "We were all looking forward to it, but you couldn't blame him. He's really a very wild, partying sort of beast."

Okay, I admit I changed a few words … but what’s the difference between this version and the original?
