A horse named Bronson has become an internet sensation after trotting through a McDonald's drive-thru in Googong, a small town in regional New South Wales. Owner Erin Beattie took her stallion to the fast-food chain's drive-through window, where staff served him a soft serve cone.
The stunt was captured on video and posted to TikTok, where it quickly gained global attention. Beattie expressed surprise at the video's reach, saying she did it 'for sh**s and giggles' and posted it on her little TikTok page.
Beattie revealed she had attempted similar stunts before, having ridden through a McDonald's in Cooma 25 years ago and been served. When questioned about the legality of taking a horse through a drive-thru, she argued that horses are a valid form of transport and noted that people can be charged with DUI on them.
McDonald's staff appeared excited by the unusual visit, and Bronson 'absolutely devoured' the soft serve, according to Beattie. However, McDonald's previously issued a statement saying it does not allow horses through its drive-thrus, citing safety concerns for the rider, employees, customers, and the animal.
