On Facebook, a man’s post created laughter for many after he shared an unexpected moment of finding a horse in his house.
Imagine walking into your living room to find a random horse lounging comfortably. That’s exactly what happened to Doug Renoe in Dunedin, New Zealand.
A strange horse had wandered into his home and made herself at home, acting as if she had lived there her entire life.
Doug Renoe stunned after spotting the unexpected visitor in his house
Doug found himself in an unexpected moment after spotting strage in his house.
Despite the horse’s casual demeanor, Doug knew he had never had a horse for a roommate.
Confused but amused, Doug quickly posted on Facebook, sharing this humorous moment with many.
The post read: “Is anyone in Highcliff area missing a horse? This one has come inside eaten half my dinner and also my wife’s carrots from garden. We will keep her for a pet if not claimed.”
In the post, Doug even asked if anyone in the Highcliff area was missing a horse
In the post, the horse appeared quite normal, showing little fear or unfamiliarity.
According to Doug, the horse treated Doug’s house as its own and comfortably ate half of his dinner and all of Doug’s carrots.
The post quickly went viral and gained attention among animals lover.
One person said: My Dad got UPSET, when a goat wandered thru ours!
A second wrote: How nice!
While a third commented: I’ve seen stranger things happen than this.
Another added: Haha did it say hello neiiiiiiiiigghhhhhhhhbbbbbbbboooouuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lol
Someone else said: I’m so glad her home is a good one. I love that she’s an “indoor horse”. I think that would work well as long as she’s potty trained.
Another added: She’s beautiful, I would love to have her as a roommate. Better than any human.
However, Doug’s post caught the attention of Ben Telfer-Hynes, Sharq’s owner. Ben explained that Sharq is an indoor horse and is used to wandering around inside homes.
“She’s actually an inside horse, so it was no shock to me when I saw she was lurking inside this man’s home,” Ben told The Dodo. “I’m so glad that she was able to find such a lovely place to reside for a short while.”
A strange horse returns to her owner
Doug was ready to welcome Sharq into his family if no one claimed her, but Ben was relieved to know where she was.
He promptly went to Doug’s house to bring Sharq back home. Sharq, understanding that her adventure was over, obediently followed Ben home.
Sharq’s unexpected visit to Doug’s home had a happy ending. The horse was safely returned to her proper residence, but her story highlights the friendly nature of the Dunedin community. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, even a stranger can become a friend in unexpected ways.
What did you think about Sharq’s adventure?
