Diners stunned as young boys enter fast-food chain on horses before whipping them

Customers were left baffled after two boys made their way into a fast-food chain riding two horses.

The young men were recorded trotting inside family chain Supermac's in Ballinasloe, Galway, with reins, blinkers and no saddle.

During the short 30-second clip families can seen confused by the random appearance and why the young boys were on horseback, before they whip the animals to leave.

After a few seconds, as the boy seems to look for a way out, a person is seen opening the main door, and a staff member points the exit to the boy, Galway Beo reports.

At that moment, the boy can be heard saying “I can’t speak English” - while speaking perfect English - and he is seen whipping the horse to make it move.

When the boy makes his way slowly to the exit door he is seen with another boy, on a smaller horse, following him out of the fast-food chain, which has 118 sites throughout Ireland.

The Supermac’s store has been contacted for more information about the incident.

It took place this week during the same time as the famous Ballinasloe Horse Fair, which may explain the odd appearance.

The fair is one of the oldest and biggest horse fairs in Europe and this year people in the community and around the country celebrates its 300th anniversary.

But the fair has caused some concern for businesses, pubs and restaurants in the area who have decided to shut up shop.

Among them, Joseph Kelly's pub, better known as Joe's Bar, announced: "Unfortunately we won’t be opening today Sunday 2nd October.

"This decision wasn’t taken lightly. We won’t be making any further comment on this particular matter on social media. Thanks Cáit and Joby."

When contacted, the bar responded: "There is no further comment to make on this matter."
