In recent decades we have made great progress in terms of comforts and technologies. This has inevitably affected the means of transportation, thus giving rise to cities dominated by cars, trucks, motorcycles, trains, subways...
Gone are those street scenes full of carts pulled by horses, mules, donkeys, oxen, etc. Furthermore, nowadays in large cities and towns (especially if we talk about the global north) no one uses animals to get around, since there are other faster and more efficient ways. For all these reasons, the video of a family picking up a girl from school on horseback has caught the attention of millions of users on the Internet.
In the video, broadcast on social networks and platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, people they meet on their way.
However, the most special moment of the video comes when the protagonist leaves class with her schoolmates and finds two of her relatives waiting for her with the animals. Proud and happy, the girl soon gets on her steed to go home.
When some of her classmates ask her if she rides a horse, the little girl does not hesitate and responds with a resounding and sincere 'yes' that has made countless Internet users burst into laughter.
The publication did not take long to gain relevance and popularity on the Internet, since we are facing a situation that is not seen every day. Thousands of people were amazed to see that there are other ways to go to school apart from the car and the bus.
''She's now the coolest girl in school thanks to you'', ''Damn, in the old days cars were considered a luxury and horses were common. Now it's the opposite...'', ''With the high prices of gasoline today, I would like to have a horse to go to work'' or ''And all the children said: 'Mom, can I have a pony?''' are some of the comments that can be read on the video. However, some users have questioned the safety of the practice: ''Isn't it potentially dangerous for the horses and other students if a loud noise scares the animals?''
