Diners in a Galway Supermac's outlet were left baffled recently when two boys rode in on horses.
The boys were recorded trotting inside the Supermac's restaurant in Ballinasloe with reins, blinkers and no saddles.
During the short 30-second clip families are clearly confused by the random appearance of two young boys on horseback, before they whip the animals to leave.

After a few seconds, as one boy seems to look for a way out, a person is seen opening the main door, and a staff member points out the exit, Galway Beo reports.
At that moment, one of the boys can be heard saying “I can’t speak English” - while speaking perfect English - and he is seen whipping the horse to make it move. He is followed out by the second boy.
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 celebrated 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."
