A Florida woman and her horse have gone viral after she shared a video of him comfy as could be inside their family home ahead of Hurricane Milton.

The TikTok shared Wednesday by a woman named Rebekah showed her horse standing inside her living room standing on a thick bed of sawdust, eating some hay piled in a storage bin.

In the video, two people can be heard laughing as the horse looks around the room while chewing his hay. One person pretending to be the horse says, "Hey guys, what's up? Why is everybody looking at me?"

Dobbin was very excited to be back in his usual space. He is such an amazing horse and i couldnt ask for more from him. He kept his cool all night long even through losing power and debris slamming into the house. Overall, we did ok especially compared to how others faired last night. My heart goes out to everyone through this mess.#hurricanemilton #hurricane #milton #horse #equine #bradenton
