The atmosphere is filled with laughter and camaraderie as onlookers marvel at this remarkable display of equine audacity.

It serves as a reminder that sometimes it takes daring acts like riding your horse into a pub to bring joy and laughter into people's lives – even if just for one unforgettable evening.
