IT’S A WELL established internet tradition that local newspaper headlines give a window into Ireland’s soul that you just can’t get anywhere else.

And so it was in Armagh yesterday:

“Warning; Drivers urged to beware as horses on loose in Craigavon after invading medical centre”

Four horses INVADED a doctor’s office.

And the Lurgan Mail has photograph evidence of the potential apocalypse (without the horsemen):

The report makes for stellar reading:

The horses walked into the centre via the automatic doors.

One man quipped: “Perhaps they were a little hoarse.”

“The horses just walked in,” said another eyewitness.

Locals are saying one horse “sauntered” in

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

It’s like the setup to an old school one-liner

With the comments taking that premise and running with it:

The horse had a check up. It’s now in a ‘stable’ condition

they left with their tail between their legs

The autorities have been notified and it looks like it was dealt with swiftly.

Neigh bother to them.
