There’s never a bad time to rewatch the legend that is Steven the lazy horse

Poke Staff. Updated September 17th, 2026

Back in 2022, Scottish TikToker @glittergreigy shared a short clip (clop?) that went wildly viral, and deservedly so, with the description –

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

If you haven’t seen it, you’re in for a treat. If you have, we know you’re going to want to see it again.

“Steven, I thought you were dead!”

She describes Steven 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

As a bonus, here’s Steven in a much earlier video, forgetting he’s Scottish.
