In a moment so uniquely Texan, it could only happen in the Lone Star State, a viral video has taken the internet by storm. In the clip, a man decides to take his pool game to the next level—by playing pool from the saddle of an actual horse. Yes, you read that right: pool on horseback, inside a bar.
The Unbelievable Pool Shot from the Saddle
The video, originally posted on TikTok, was recorded at 3R Roadhouse in Lott, Texas—a town so small it makes cities like El Paso seem bustling. In this jaw-dropping clip, the cowboy, sitting comfortably (or not so comfortably) on his horse, tries to take a pool shot.
However, his aim is a bit off, and he misses the shot, leading to a hilarious turn of events. As the horse backs away from the table—perhaps embarrassed for both of them—the ceiling fan spins just inches from the man’s head, adding a perfect touch of Texas danger to the mix.
Of course, the video was quickly taken down, leaving only a blurry screenshot and some text describing the event. Now, the incident has become an internet legend, with some calling it just another Thursday night in Texas.
Reactions to the Viral Video
As expected, reactions online were a mix of confusion and complete acceptance. Many viewers, having already witnessed the strange and chaotic world of Texas internet content, weren’t surprised at all.
One commenter humorously wrote, “I just knew this was in Texas,” while others leaned into the stereotype: “This is what I tell people a regular Texas day is like.” And then, there was the person who captured the essence of it all: “This is either the most Texan thing I’ve seen or a deleted scene from Yellowstone.”
Where Did This Happen?
The unforgettable pool-on-horse moment occurred at the 3R Roadhouse in Lott, Texas. This small town bar, which serves drinks and burgers, is now also the home of an unbelievable cowboy spectacle.
The bar is open Wednesday through Sunday, and it seems like they’ve got a knack for offering more than just food and drinks—they also provide live demonstrations of cowboy multitasking.
There’s no word yet on whether the management plans to add horse troughs next to the pool table or charge a cover fee for horses, but if this viral moment is any indication, it wouldn’t be too surprising.
