Animals can be majestic and graceful at times, but they can also be awkward and hilarious. Anyone who’s ever loved a pet has witnessed this! No matter how beautiful, talented, or awe-inspiring an animal may be, you can rest assured that they also have a funny, immature side that will have you laughing out loud.

Equestrian @transatlanticequestrian may not have been laughing while she dealt with her horse’s over-the-top temper tantrum on December 27, but even she can make fun of the iconic moment now that she’s looking back at it. Her mare was not happy about being asked to stop grazing! She had some strong feelings as she followed her mom back to the barn, but at least everyone got a laugh out of it eventually!

What a card! Horses may be large, majestic animals, but moments like this prove that they have attitudes even larger than they are. This mare was willing to walk with her mom, but she wasn’t going to be happy about it!

Commenters like @sugarmagnolia2.0 agree this is “the horse equivalent of throwing yourself on the floor at the toy aisle in Walmart.” It’s giving toddler vibes for sure! Others joked that she’s auditioning for the Rockettes or becoming a ‘rocking horse,’ but one thing is for sure: this big horse has even bigger feelings.

As funny as the dramatic horse’s reaction is, it’s also worth noting that she’s being very polite! @Notanotherjen said she’s “business in the front, and party in the back,” but however you look at it, she’s also being very careful not to injure her Mom in the process. Good girl!

Horse Temper Tantrum Causes

There’s no doubt that this unhappy horse is feeling annoyed by something, but viewers are debating what’s truly causing her temper tantrum. @Transatlanticequestrian thinks she’s mad because she had to stop grazing—and that very well may be true—but others think something else may be wrong.

Some eagle-eyed commenters are convinced that this mare is annoyed with her blanket, but the official jury is still out. If only she could tell us herself! We may never know what got on her nerves that day, but we do know that her tantrum couldn’t have been more entertaining.
