Police in Russia’s Kemerovo region are questioning a man who drunkenly rode a horse into an apartment building at 3 a.m. and presented it to his wife to make amends after a fight. Footage of the bizarre scene shows both the large pile of feces the animal left in the building’s entranceway (which neighbors are reportedly not happy about) and the man’s many failed attempts to climb on the horse. At one point, the man apparently thought better of trying to fit the horse into the elevator to get to his fifth-floor apartment and rode up instead. Local media identifies the man as 33-year-old Sergei Antipov and reports he took the horse from a farm where he used to work, hoping to show up as “Prince Charming” and make up with his wife. She subsequently recorded the confused-looking horse, which she quipped was a gift for International Women’s Day on March 8, inside their tiny apartment. “Here’s a horse standing in my house,” she said. Thankfully, the horse is now said to be back at its farm.
