A cliche came to to life over the weekend in Texas, when a man rode a horse through a Houston-area Wal-Mart.

Woody Fields uploaded video to Facebook on Sunday evening, showing at least two men riding horses through the home section of the store amid stunned shoppers. Fields and his friend met a third man on a horse outside of the Walmart.

It does not appear that Fields faced any sort of legal consequences for his actions.

Fields told KHOU-TV he was just “trying to make people smile and laugh,” and that he wasn’t trying to “hurt anyone or do anything destructive.”

Wal-Mart doesn’t agree.

"We in no way condone last weekend’s reckless stunt inside our store and are thankful no one was hurt by these actions," the store said in a statement.
