How many times did you write "…. and a pony, and a surprise' on the end of your Christmas letter to Santa as a kid? Just in case, like, on the off-chance that he'd manage to somehow smuggle a Shetland in from the North Pole and down the chimney.

No doubt Lady Gaga did the same as a youngster, except now - at the age of 29 - her Christmas wish has been granted.

Gaga was bestowed with a pony by her record label Interscope, who had the beautiful white beast delivered to her house.

She posted pictures of the animal on Instagram:

 

"Today on my doorstep was delivered a White Angel from heaven. It felt like the old days of the record business, she's such a spiritual girl! A heartfelt thank you to John Janick and Steve Berman, the whole Interscope family. I will ride, and care for, and love her forever. I was so surprised!��"

 

 

"Night my sweet girl"

 

 

"I feel like I've known her my whole life she wants to show me things."
