Horse patiently observes social distancing in supermarket queue

What a good horse.

Markings have appeared outside supermarkets warning people to queue two metres apart and observe social distancing.

And it seems even horse are sticking to the guidelines – according to these pictures at least.

Photos taken by Chris Wharton shows a woman waiting patiently in line outside the Co-op in Highfields Road, Chasetown, at around 6pm on April 25.

The horse didn’t enter the store but was fussed by staff at the entrance while someone bought drinks.

Chris said: ‘I was waiting in my car when a horse saddles up beside me
and joins the queue.

‘It gets to the door, has a fuss while someone goes in to get drinks,
before carrying on up the High street. Hilarious so funny. So glad I
took the photos.’

Others laughed at the unusual sight after it was posted online.

‘They wanted to jump the queue,’ one joked.

While another said: ‘You’re supposed to self-isolate for 14 day if you
start feeling a little horse*’

And a third wrote: ‘Clean up on aisle two, big pile of horse s***’

A fourth also added: ‘Funniest part no one in queue seems to be batting en eye lid – as if to say yeah its normal.’
