Which animal goes ‘clip, clop, clip, clop’?

About five minutes ago, as I was basking in the morning mugginess of my muggy apartment, I noticed a noise floating up through the open balcony door.

‘Clip, clop, clip, clop,’ went the noise.

After my weekend close encounter with a horsey – in the countryside – I was rather excited to hear one coming up the rather busy main road that I live on, in the middle of the city.

So excited, in fact, that I tore myself away from the table and started to make my way to the door.

I was halfway there when I realised… Of course it’s not a horse. What was I thinking? Firstly, a horse just couldn’t come up my street, unless it wanted to be turned into car-manufactured dog food, quick smart.

At the same time I that this thought, I remembered that horses aren’t the only animals that go ‘clip, clop, clip, clop.’

Can anyone guess what was walking up my street?
