Over 4 million views. Target’s official response? “Target run. Target ride.” ðŸ¤
There’s “content creator” and then there’s “bloke who rides a horse through Target while it sprays shit across the floor.” Stephen Harmon is the latter, and honestly, respect.
Harmon, known online as cowboyatheart82, built his following posting instructional videos about how to ride horses. Helpful stuff. Educational. Then, like every content creator eventually does, he thought: “What if I escalated dramatically?”
So he rode his horse into a Target.
The footage shows him trotting through the automatic doors like it’s the most normal thing in the world, clip-clopping past the checkout lanes while shoppers scatter like startled pigeons. Just a man and his horse, doing a bit of shopping.
Then the horse did what horses do.
Right there in the aisle. Massive dump. The kind of deposit that makes you grateful you’re not the seventeen-year-old getting minimum wage to mop it up later.
The video hit TikTok and immediately racked up 4 million views, because of course it did. This is exactly what the internet was invented for.
But here’s the best part: Target’s official account actually replied. Not with a cease and desist. Not with “we’re investigating this incident.” No. They wrote: “Target run. Target ride 🤠.”
The social media intern behind that response deserves a raise and a corner office.
This isn’t even Harmon’s first rodeo – pun absolutely intended. Before Target, he rode his horse into a Tractor Supply store in New York, which led to an extremely predictable confrontation with the manager. That video got 10 million views. The man has found his niche, and his niche is “put horse where horse shouldn’t be.”
Is it stupid? Absolutely. Is it illegal? Probably? Is it content? Undeniably.
There’s something beautifully American about a cowboy trotting through a big-box retailer while his horse unloads on the linoleum. It’s the kind of thing that makes you wonder if we’ve peaked as a civilisation, or if we’re just getting started.
Either way, some poor bastard had to clean that up. And Target just turned it into marketing.
God bless the internet.
