Horse Illustrated Magazine

If you’re anything like me, chances are you’ve spent most of your riding time wearing appropriate barn clothes and boots. OK, so there was that time I was wearing shorts and sandals, but that’s another story. I have never, though, dressed up in a dinosaur costume and gone horseback riding. Michael Gascon, however, has.

Gascon, owner of Gascon Horsemanship, dressed up as T-Rex and filmed himself riding Tito, a 9-year-old Paso Fino. The video has more than 2.1 million views. Watch it (below) and add a few numbers to that.

Fox 8 Live reports that this isn’t the first time the stallion has appeared on camera; he once played alongside Luke Perry in the film A Fine Step, with Gascon as Perry’s stunt double. “He’s the most beautiful Paso I’ve ever seen,” Gascon told Fox 8 Live. “And he’s just a character.” We’d add that he’s pretty brave, too. Not every horse would tolerate a giant T-Rex on their back.

“Jurassic Paso Park,” as Gascon has dubbed the video, showcases how well-trained Tito is, and yes, it is pretty funny too.
