A West Australian farmer has shot to fame after being refused a soft serve ice-cream while on a horseback at a McDonald's drive-through last Sunday.

Luke Ieraci, 22, said he was refused the ice cream when he showed up at the fast-food outlet in Treedale, near Australind, after visiting a mate, while on his horse Zara.

Instead of being served with an ice cream, the dairy farmer was told by staff to stop horsing around as he entered the drive-through, reports Perth Now.

'Sorry sir, we can't serve you in the drive-through on a horse,' Mr Ieraci recalled the staff telling him.

When he asked why, he said it was because he showed up to the restaurant with his horse instead of a motor vehicle.

'I'm pretty sure a horse is still a legitimate mode of transport, so why can't I use the drive-through?' Mr Ieraci retorted.

Farmer Luke Ieraci said he hoped for Maccas to rethink their polices at the drive-through

He hopes that his experience would make the bosses at McDonald's rethink their policies and allow those on horseback to use their drive-through in the future.

However, despite the argument, Mr Ieraci still went home empty handed without his ice cream.

He told GWN7 that staff were willing to serve him with the ice cream but only if he had gone into the restaurant.

However, Mr Ieraci refused the offer for fear that his horse might run off.

A McDonald's WA spokeswoman told Perth Now that only people in licensed motor vehicles were served at its drive-through.

Daily Mail Australia contacted Mr Ieraci, however he refused to be interviewed as he was waiting to speak to a McDonald's manager in regards to the matter.
