An animal welfare group says it wouldn't recommend bringing a horse along to your weekly shop.
The DSPCA has criticised a video being shared online, which shows a horse being walked through a Tesco store in Finglas last night.
The supermarket says the animal wasn't inside the Clearwater store for long.

Tesco Horse Statement
"We’d like to reassure customers that the animal did not enter any fresh food aisles", Tesco said in a statement.
The company said the horse was "promptly escorted from the store by security".
Gillian Bird from the DSPCA said "horses really do not belong in supermarkets".
She described them as "very unpredictable animals" that can "easily get spooked".
"It's not something we would recommend", she said.
