Courtroom scenes just went from zero to absolutely mental after a man rocked up dressed head-to-hooves like a horse — and the judge did not hold back.
What on earth?!
The man appeared before Judge Collins in [insert location], but instead of a suit or casual wear, he was fully decked out in a realistic horse costume. Yes, you read that right.
When the judge asked, confused and borderline irritated:
“Sir… why are you dressed like that?”
The man calmly replied:
“Because I identify as a horse.”
Cue the judge’s face turning from baffled to absolutely furious.
Judge Collins was NOT having it
The judge slammed his gavel and said:
“This is a courtroom, not a barnyard. We don’t tolerate shenanigans here.”
He then ordered the man to remove the costume immediately or face contempt of court charges.
The courtroom’s reaction? Priceless
People in the courtroom were reportedly trying to hold back laughter while the bailiffs looked like they wanted to run for cover.
One court clerk later said:
“It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in 20 years on the job. You don’t expect a horse to show up to a hearing.”
Social media lost it
Videos of the incident blew up online, with memes flooding in — everything from “Horse Court is in session” to “When you take ‘dress for the job you want’ too literally.”
Twitter user @neigh_sayer joked:
“Next up: can’t wait for the donkey to plead insanity.”
What happens next?
The man was eventually ordered to change clothes before the hearing could proceed. Legal experts are still debating whether “identifying as a horse” holds any water in court — spoiler: it doesn’t.
One thing’s for sure — this story is neigh-ver going away. 🐴
