Featured Video: Horses Are Hired

A couple of weeks ago, we saw stories about horses showing up in strange places in Ireland. One horse was brought on public transportation for a short stretch before being kicked out by the driver. Another was ridden into a pub where he enjoyed a pint of Guinness.



Today, courtesy of Horseware Ireland, we find out that these horses were probably just taking the train to work and unwinding with a beer afterwards, just like any other hard working Irishmen and -women. Meet four equine employees who are causing a stir at Horseware’s blanket factory. Sure, their human coworkers may not always appreciate their coworker’s habits in the communal cafeteria or their total lack of respect for traditional restroom practices, but we think they were a good choice. After all, how can you design great rugs without design input from those who wear them?
