How did it get past the bouncers? Presumably they had to ask for ID?
A nightclub in Miami Beach has been shut down after a video of a pair riding a horse into the middle of the crowded dancefloor was posted online.
Should you ride a horse into a nightclub in your underwear? Should you pretend that you’re a slightly kinkier Gandalf charging into the Battle of Helm’s Deep? I don’t think you should, personally. I think that’s the kind of thing you should just daydream about at work.
The videos posted on multiple accounts showed two people riding a white horse onto the dancefloor before the horse grew aggravated and bucked them off. Was this a surprising conclusion to events? No. No it was not. Fortunately the horse was ok.
When club-goers began leaving the venue in shock, the authorities were alerted and the club was quickly shut down.

The club’s owner swears he did not know of the incident and says the person responsible for the stunt has been disciplined.
“The marketing director, who arranged the stunt, that I was unaware of, is suspended without pay,” they told CBS4. “I am cooperating with the authorities.”
Miami Beach Police revealed in a statement that animal safety experts were immediately called to the scene, saying:
“Animal experts have located the horse that was at Mokai Club. The horse has been inspected and deemed to be healthy and safe.”
"What kind of idiot would do something like to this to an animal?" said Miami Beach mayor @DanGelber after someone paraded a horse around in one of the city's nightclubs. Mokai Lounge's license is now revoked. pic.twitter.com/ATDiIGc2uH

The videos sparked outrage online and resulted in a press conference with the city manager, who said:
“I was disgusted and offended that any legitimate businessperson would think this was an appropriate action to take. This activity was not permitted, and as soon as we became aware, I immediately instructed staff to act swiftly in remedying this situation.”
