Moments before midnight on April 5th, an unlikely passenger was spotted trotting through the Warwick Farm railway station in Australia.
Security camera has captured footage of a horse who escaped a heavy rain storm, rushing through the entry gate of the train station from the parking lot.
“It paced up and down the platform for about 5 minutes, seemingly wanting to head to Horsely Park to stirrup trouble,” according to a statement from Transport for NSW.
As the train approached, the patient horse seemed as if it might canter up and board the train, but eventually got nervous and walked away.
The horse was eventually moved to the parking lot and returned to its owner in a stable condition.
The Sydney Trains Security team was notified of the unusual passenger, and trains in the area were warned to run at slower speeds.
After the transport department shared the hilarious video of the horse casually pacing around Warwick Farm railway station, it went viral, and their comment section turned into a heyday of horse puns.
“All those against the horse getting on the train, say neigh,” one social media user wrote.
“I think he wants to go to the race course - hopefully he successfully tapped on and tapped off for reimbursement,” wrote another. To which the transport department joked: “Since he tapped off on the way out, he won’t be charged.”
“I'd tell him to quit horsing around,” a third social media user wrote.
