It is not unusual to witness people saddled up on horses riding around the Fort Worth Stockyards, but a unique western experience has recently been caught on video.

The footage obtained by WFAA-TV shows a white horse pop its head outside the window, enjoying a breezy ride from the back seat of a GMC — not in the truck bed, but seated inside comfortably.

The Star-Telegram found other videos on social media that appear to show the same truck with a mini horse inside the passenger area, but several things remains unclear including how the horse was guided inside.

Fort Worth police told WFAA in a statement that it isn’t illegal. However, keeping a horse in a car could be illegal if it was left in the heat or cold for an extended period of time.
