Texas Man Causes Online Debate After Riding His Horse Through A Target Store

I thought I had seen it all, but I have never seen someone ride their horse through a Target store before. Recently, a Texas man took it upon himself to pull what he considered a light-hearted prank and share the moment online. While some viewers were amused by his viral stunt, others were outraged by it. Now, this Texas man is causing quite the online debate after riding his horse through a Target store.

Stephen Harmon decided that he didn't want it to be any regular day. Harmon, who goes by @cowboyatheart82 on Instagram, decided to share the video footage of the moment he decided to ride his horse into a Target store. I will admit, the horse is beautiful. His light tan steed looked incredible throughout the entire footage, but that is just the horse lover in me talking. However, I did feel bad for the horse as well because of how confused that poor animal must have been, and with all those bright lights.

Not to mention, how confused the employees and customers were when they looked up from their shopping and saw a full-grown horse trotting down the aisles. Naturally, some customers were amazed, with one woman even stopping to pet the beautiful creature. Others were just in complete shock at the bizarre situation. However, no one seemed thrilled as the animal began defecating as it was walking down the aisles.

Employees quickly tried to intervene and remove the man and his horse from the Target store, but Harmon was not leaving so easily. Even his companion, who was filming, mentioned that the horse was leaving behind some unwanted droppings. Eventually, the employees were successful in getting the man and his steed to leave, but now they had feces to deal with.

An Online Debate Ensues

As I shared previously, many people had varying reactions to this viral stunt. Some found the whole thing incredibly humorous and didn't think Harmon did anything wrong. Others enjoyed the joke but thought things went too far when the animal defecated in the store. Others were appalled at the entire ordeal and found it wildly inappropriate to bring a horse into a Target store. Here are some of the comments left under the viral video.

  • "Eveything was fine until he took a walking dump ?."
  • "Y'all bring dogs in why can't my emotional support horse come in."
  • "Love the video just next time you go in a facility but something back there to catch the poop. That's so rude and disrespectful to leave for someone else to have to clean
  • "You got the target employees moving like the feds ??."
  • "It was funny till the horse pooped in the store. Not okay for the workers to have to clean that up."
  • "No Sign That Says "No Horses Allowed" So No Laws Broken ???."
  • "Now this is how you.make content!?."
