All over the world, children are picked up from school. Mostly by car, bicycle or bus. But in the USA, a mother saddles the horses for this.
Arielle Kite is a real cowgirl from South Carolina. This is where the mother of four lives and works with her horses. In numerous TikTok videos, she takes users to her little ranch – her place of well-being. She openly shows how she works with the horses, how she escapes everyday life with them or how she sometimes finds herself in the middle of life with her four-legged friends. Like, for example, on a street in front of her daughter's school.
Daughter is picked up from school on horseback: "Great way to save gas"
The fact that horses are an integral part of her life is proven by Arielle in a clip. High on horseback and with a hand horse on a rope, she rides through the city. Her goal: her daughter's school. While other parents queue up by car to pick up their children, Ariel joins the queue with her horses instead.
The children on the side of the road are amazed. "School pick-up in style," the clip says, and the description reads, "You have to save a little gas." Arriving in front of the school, Ariel waits for her daughter to come. Instead of getting in, it's time to climb up. Her daughter runs purposefully towards the horse and skilfully swings into the saddle in front of some curious spectators.

Daughter is picked up from school on a horse – but there are even more joint activities
Another clip is also popular among the TikTok community, proving once again that horses are an integral part of Ariel's life. She even takes her four-legged friends with her when she goes shopping. "Sometimes you have to let your horse buy for yourself," says the video, which has been viewed over 38,000 times. A 35-year-old rides through the middle of the city.
This action is also diligently commented on by TikTok users. "And what did the horses choose at the end of the shopping spree?" jokes one. Another, on the other hand, is sure that something like this is only possible with a horse breed: "Only western horses can do that". This user, on the other hand, seems slightly shaken: "This is legal? What have I been doing all my life?". And one compares "In Germany already 30 advertisements". Encouragement for Ariel can be found in the comments. Because one of them says: "Come on, girls".
