One cheeky lad gave Luas passengers a tail to tell today after he decided to bring his horse on board.

Passenger Una Mc Crystal snapped a shot of the horse shortly after it got on at the Belgard stop, in Tallaght, Dublin 24, heading towards town, earlier this afternoon.

According to Una, the unusual passenger was only on board for a couple of minutes - but it was the mane attraction of the trip for the rest of the commuters.

Una told IrishMirror.ie that most of the folks on the tram were pretty relaxed about the unexpected passenger, grabbing their phones to take a few snaps before the horse was told to trot on.

She added that during its brief appearance on the Red Line, the horse didn't look to be in any distress.

The conductor was quick to notice the new arrival and signaled to the lad and his horse that they would have to hoof it off the tram.
