Woman takes horse to McDonald's, gets denied at drive-thru

A woman has been fined for taking her horse into a McDonald's restaurant in Greater Manchester.

Police said the woman, who has not been named, was in the saddle when she was initially turned away from the drive-through kiosk on Bury New Road.

The woman then led the animal inside, where it "ended up doing his business on the floor", a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) spokesman said.

McDonald's said it was unable to serve customers on horseback.

I went to a drive through liquor store in Wyoming once, and there was a guy on a horse ahead of me...!

I walked up to a drive-through because the main store was closed. I was parked across the street. I drive a large truck that barely squeaks through most drive-throughs. They refused to serve me unless I was in the vehicle. Something-or-other about customer safety.
