Is there anything more Texas than showing up on a horse to shop?

Woody Fields of Houston instantly went viral for recording a video of himself and some buddies riding on horseback past Walmart security and browsing the aisles for a candy bar.

Fields shared the video on Facebook from inside the Walmart, and it has been shared in turn more than 30,000 times.
The man documented what led up to going into Walmart and has been spitting fire ever since.

The aftermath
Fields told Click2Houston that the whole thing was done on a whim.
“We were just riding, and a buddy of mine was, like, ‘Let’s go to Walmart,’ and I was, like, ‘Man, I’m not going to Walmart.’ He was, like, ‘Come on, let’s go!,'” he said. “I wasn’t trying to hurt nobody, or do anything destructive. It was just, like, you only live once, you know? That’s all.”

Walmart, though, has released a statement calling Fields’ actions a “reckless stunt.”
“We in no way condone yesterday’s reckless stunt inside our store and are thankful no one was hurt by these actions,” they said.
The Houston Humane Society piled on, calling it “incredibly irresponsible:”
At minimum, riding a horse inside a store is incredibly irresponsible. This would be extremely stressful on any horse. Horses can easily become spooked, endangering not only themselves, but also any shoppers they might encounter.
The Houston Humane Society urges all pet owners to think and act responsibly when it comes to the lives of animals in their care.
Despite these condemnations, Fields seems to be enjoying the fame and the smiles his Walmart fun has caused.
