Steve the lazy horse’s rude awakening is the viral clip (clop) you didn’t know you needed

Oonagh Keating. Updated September 26th, 2022

Scottish TikToker @glittergreigy has shared a short clip that’s gone wildly viral, and deservedly so, with the description –

‘He thought about it for a second .. he really thought about it.’

“Steven, I thought you were dead!”

She describes Steve as ‘our garden dweller, not our pet’, but he looks like very much his own horse to us anyway. And he’s perfecly healthy – he just likes lying down.

With more than 16 million views and three million likes, it’s been attracting a lot of comments too, and here are a few favourites.

It was far too good to be contained by TikTok, so it found its way to Twitter, where it continued its viral journey.

From now on, my favorite name for a horse it’s going to be Steven. And I’m going to pronounce just as in here: https://t.co/Ux1KeeEOcE

If it doesn’t become a trending TikTok sound, we’ll want to know why not.

Here’s Steve in a much earlier video, forgetting he’s Scottish.
