Woman spends night with her horse in a hotel room

A horse trainer from Canada, Lindsey Partridge, who decided to test the pet policy of a hotel was proven wrong when a hotel in Georgetwon, Kentucky allowed her to check her 5-year-old thoroughbred into her room at the cost of only $10.

According to Odditycentral.com, Partridge, from Ontario, Canada, recently traveled to the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky, to compete in the Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover. It is an annual competition in which retired racehorses compete in various categories.

As she approached the town of Georgetown, where she had booked a room for the week, Partridge decided to stop and drop off her luggage, before driving to the contest venue. Little did she know that one of her horses would be joining her in the room as well.

Upon entering the lobby of the Supreme 8 Hotel, the horse trainer noticed a pet dog and jokingly remarked to the receptionist that she didn’t know about the hotel’s pet policy, adding that she also had some pet horses traveling with her and it would have been nice to check them in as well. However, to her surprise, the receptionist replied “Oh, I don’t care. Sure, bring them in”.

Though she was initially taken aback by the response, Lindsey Partridge decided that it was too good an opportunity let go, so she unloaded one of her horses from the trailer and brought it into the hotel.

Partridge told ABC News that other people in and around the hotel were surprised by the unusual guest, but they all knew it was in good fun. She only paid $10 to have the horse spend the night in her hotel room.

She later said “I was like let’s just check in with the horse, and we did our video and then my room happened to be on the first floor, so we took her into the hotel room to watch a little TV.”

Out of amazement, Partridge then posted some photos and a video of the whole experience on Facebook, and they quickly went viral.

As you can expect, most people were curious about how she had pulled the whole thing off, while some jokingly asked how the large horse managed to use the toilet. Luckily for the hotel’s cleaning staff, Fuzz, 5-year-old thoroughbred, didn’t actually spend the whole night in the room. Partridge just took some photos, watched some TV with the horse and then took her back to the trailer for the night, according to Odditycentral.com.

When contacted by ABC News, the Supreme 8 hotel acknowledged the development, saying, “We did not know she was going to bring the horse into the facility. We are pet-friendly, and it is [for animals] 25 pounds and under. We had no knowledge of it being in the room.”

Lindsey Partridge said that she was happy to see that some hotels don’t discriminate against certain animals, and that she hopes that the unusual story shows people “that horses really can be quiet, calm and nice.”
