One of the riders even recorded the incident and posted it to Facebook.

“I was just trying to make people smile and laugh,” Woody Fields told KPRC.

Fields was going for a weekly ride with some friends when they decided to go “parking lot pimping,” local media reported.

But the spectacle soon found its way inside the store.

“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!'”

The two men and their horses strode into the store, passing by security and began wandering the aisles.

“We is in ‘Wally World,'” Fields can be heard saying in the video as a young shopper is seen waving at him and the horse.

According to Fields, one of the horses relieved itself inside the store.

Walmart corporate offices released a statement condemning the stunt.

“We in no way condone [Sunday’s] reckless stunt inside our store and are thankful no one was hurt by these actions.”

Fields says he was just having fun.

“I wasn’t trying to hurt nobody, or do anything destructive. It was just, like, you only live once, you know? That’s all,” Fields said.
