Hilarious scenes as 'Shark' walks horse into a pub

Question: Have you ever seen a Shark walk a horse into a pub? No, of course not.

Well get ready to chalk this off your bucket list. As can be seen in the video below, a horse does indeed get led into a pub by a Shark.

And not just any shark, but THE Shark, John Hanlon.

The popular horse trainer took one of his horses into a pub in celebration after a successful days work.

And I know what you’re thinking, what on earth would you order a horse in a pub?

Well a creamy pint of Guinness might be the perfect place to start, as the trainer can be heard ordering a couple when he enters the bar.

Whatever the beverage, there can be no arguing with Shark’s methods. Shark has been on a roll of late, with the great Hewick, the same horse in the video, winning the American Grand National just a couple of weeks ago.

After that win, Hanlon paid a touching tribute to the late Jack de Bromhead, son of trainer Henry, who lost his life tragically back in September.

'Shark' said: "I just have to say that there was an accident with Jack De Bromhead.

"And we're all thinking of him. My young lad that led up the horse was his best friend, and he cried there, and he said 'this is for Jack'."

Having been bought for a snip at just €850, Hewick is being touted as a potential Cheltenham Gold Cup contender at next year’s festival.
