A young boy became the centre of attention when his dad arrived to pick him up from school in a truly remarkable fashion.
Mike Moorman embarked on a two-and-a-half mile journey to the school, riding his 12-year-old quarter horse named Grady with his three-year-old appaloosa horse Nova in tow, to pick up his son Cale from Rose Union Elementary School in Oklahoma City.
Mike said: "On the last day of school, I rode my horses to school. A lot of the kids did it."
He wanted his eight-year-old son, Cale, to relish the same joy he experienced during his own childhood.
The Deer Creek School District spokesperson revealed that the school's principal approved the idea as a way to celebrate the end of the school year.
Cale's love for horses is evident, as he has been riding since the tender age of two or three and even participates in youth rodeos.
The Deer Creek School District shared footage of the event, exclaiming, "If this isn't the sweetest way to get picked up on the last day of school, we aren't sure what is! We love our Deer Creek families."
Mike made sure all safety protocols were followed, it was confirmed.
The spokesperson for the school said: "Mr Moorman came prepared.
"His son's horse was wearing Cale's car rider pick-up tag, a security protocol required for all students being picked up from school.
"They adhered to our strict safety rules that all students must load or unload from the right side, and Cale put on a cowboy hat helmet before they left to ensure his safety while riding."
According to Mike, the horses remained calm and unaffected by the traffic they encountered.
Before departing in style, the horses delighted the onlookers as people had the chance to pet them. Mike expressed his own joy, saying "I was as happy as the kids."
