to think that no matter what, I'd never think it was ok to take a horse into a McDonalds...

[DuchessofHaphazard]

...but apparently some people think that's fine story here

I can't imagine any set of circumstances in which I'd think, "hmmm I know I'm riding a horse, but I'm hungry. I know, I'll take the hose to McDonalds"

I think it'd cause me a bit more than 'distress' if I was a customer and the horse shat on the floor while I was eating.

bloody brilliant.

YANBU. GBK all the way.

It was the drive through not the restaurant

I would take mine

My only concern is my horse would be upset if he sniffed some of his chums in the burgers

I really can't seen an issue with taking a horse through a drive through.

Hardly 'in' as it was going through the drive through. So unless it can shit sideways through glass, I doubt a steaming dollop would land by a table

Sorry - just seen she took it in

It seems that was a protest at them not serving her at the drive thru

I wouldn't take a horse in to a McDonalds. I would be worried about the horse panicking and hurting itself.

I don't see why they turned her away at the drive thru though

See, DH and me are disagreeing about this.

I reckon it's fine to take a horse to the drive thru (not IN the restaurant, ofcourse, that woudl be mentals).

DH says I have lost all sense of reason to suggest such a thing, and that clearly it's gross and bonkers. I can't see the problem with it. You're still outside .

Still - she could have just left the horses outside with her friend, gone in and got the food and come back out.

Which would be the more normal thing to do

Used to call at chippy on mine when I was younger. And if its nice we sometimes call at local pub with dd and her pony.

There are often horses at our local pub (outside obvs, not playing pool and having a pint) No one minds

I reckon she heard they Mcdonalds were serving horse now and got the wrong end of the stick

Boom Tish ....

I dont see why they didnt allow the horse in the driv through.
And have just p.sl at shit sideways through glass
And tbh a bit of horse poo would probably be more nutritious than a mcburger

That poor horse. It was probably its mum in the happy meal.

My DM would take her horse into the pub, he liked mild, so they would have a quick half and then carry on with the rest of their day.

Shade I laughed

"Why the long face"

This has been making me chuckle all day.

Back in the day, I worked at many different McDonald's and we'd get some interesting customers. But no horses. Although someone tried to strangle me through the drive-thru window once. Happy memories.

HollyBerryBush look at the second photo in the linked article (or read it) and you will see that she took it inside and it left a big "steaming dollop" on the floor

Neigh its not ok, its unhaygenic

Better than a big steaming dollop between two bits of bun, surely?

Anyway, I think this woman should be praised for her enterprising attitude to breaking into the world of 'restaurant' supplies.

No - she took it in and it shat on the floor! Agree re taking it through the drive-thru, although I can imagine if there was a horse stuck between cars in a queue and something spooked the horse it wouldn't be fun. Or if an inconsiderate twat beeped their horn or something

The food is shit in there anyway so a bit of horse shit shouldn't raise an eyebrow.

Is anyone else wondering how she was planning to carry her mcdonalds on horseback without spilling the drink?

Maybe the horse was fitted with a cup-holder?

I went into a McDonalds in France and they had dogs in there while the owners were eating. Not sure I would fancy a horses chance in there in France though

This is the real news story of the day, can't believe the six o'clock news has been harping on about the royal baby when important things like this are happening.
