Man Rides Horse Through McDonald's Drive-Thru and Orders 100 McNuggets

A man rode his horse through a McDonald's drive-thru and was served—placing an order for a whopping 100 Chicken McNuggets.

Rider Fabian Williams shared a clip of the unusual order to his TikTok page, @theblessedequestrian, last week, where it has amassed more than 1.5 million views.

Williams, from London, was peckish after going for a ride on his steed, Apple, which he bought two years ago.

The athlete admitted he had previously never been through a drive-thru on a horse, and said it was "quite spontaneous."

"I was told that they might not accept me," he told Newsweek. He explained he was also worried about how Apple would cope.

But he recalled: "I was lucky there was no line, it was really quick and really easy." The clip shows Apple obediently trotting behind the line of stationary cars.

"I did have a fear my horse could go in the air, rear up, maybe even kick out because we didn't have another horse with her. But she was absolutely a star, she took it in her own stride.

"The McDonald's workers' reactions, they were shocked, they were shocked at the fact I wanted 100 chicken nuggets, let alone there was a horse.

"I asked the manager if she's ever seen a horse come through the drive-thru, she said no. I said how long you been working here, she said 12 years," the 18-year-old added.

Williams, who is currently fundraising to further his equestrian career, said he "would do it again," saying he's planning on starting an online series.

And for anyone wondering what happened to his snack, Williams, who trains on Apple 6 times a week, confirmed he wasn't quite able to finish all the food.

"The 100 nuggets wasn't as expensive as it sounds, it was around £30 ($35)," he said, adding that he took the remainder of the food home.

And he clarified that Apple, an ex-racehorse who has won two races, wasn't fed any McDonald's, and was given a healthy green treat instead.

Numerous people commented on the unusual spectacle online, with the video captioned: "After our hack we got hungry, so I went to get 100 chicken nuggets."

Blue wrote: "This would make my day if I saw this. Can you dress as a knight for the next one."

Morgy joked: "One horsepower."

Aleya KhatunWell said: "That's a first a 100 chicken nuggets. Oh and the horse too."

Although User Not Found asked: "So he can go thru in a horse but I can't on my bike ?"

When asked by Newsweek, McDonald's pointed to information on their website that stipulates what forms of transportation are allowed through a drive-thru, and as claimed by TikTokers, bikes aren't allowed.

It says: "Our drive-thru lanes are custom built for motor cars, vans, trucks and road-worthy mobility scooters.

"The health and safety of our customers and employees is our top priority and for this reason we are unable to serve pedestrians, bicycle riders, non road-worthy mobility scooters, horse riders or any horse-drawn vehicles through the Drive-thru lane.

"Customers on mobility scooters that are not built for road travel are welcome to bring their mobility scooter into the restaurant where possible."

Despite the website claiming horses wouldn't be served, it seems Williams got lucky.

Explaining more about why bikes are banned, the fast-food website says: "The drive-thru facility is designed for motor vehicles and, on balance, we are concerned that use by cyclists could compromise their safety through: the necessarily close proximity with motor vehicles; the limited visibility of cycles (particularly given the sharp corners of the drive thru lane); and the difficulties of carrying food and drinks and retaining full control of a bicycle."
