So it didn't quite work out with the train ride after all. But are horses allowed on the train at all? The Stuttgarter Zeitung asked a spokeswoman for the Stuttgart tram company. "It is important that no passengers are restricted or harassed and that no damage is caused – which in this specific case also applies to the horse itself," the answer reads. "In the end, however, the decision as to which animals or objects may be taken with you always lies with the driver of the light rail." The police had to stop a horror horse transport.

On Instagram, users celebrate the cowboy and his horse. There are some funny thoughts about the clip. However, some users are also critical of the man's action.

  • "Did the horse actually neigh?"
  • "The best thing was the statement of the transport association: The transport of horses is not explicitly excluded - that is decided by the driver 🤣🤣🤣."
  • "Sorry I'm late at work. Couldn't get past the horse in the track."
  • "I don't think it's good if the horse wants to escape, well then meal!!"
  • "Where's Äffle?"
  • "The horse is called a horse because it drives."
  • "But woe betide you if you take a bike with you at 16 p.m., then there's an announcement😂."
  • "It's just dangerous."
