Oftentimes, when you see horses locked up on a farm, you feel sorry for them, because you figure they'd rather be wild and free out in the wild.
But not Tango. He's got all the comforts of barn living combined with the freedom of an unbridled pasture, and he knows it.

Much like a dog, he is willing to engage in a bit of deception for tasty treats.
Pls also witness this hongry binch carrying his feed bucket all the way across the pasture to the street so he can beg for snackies from people driving by (it works) pic.twitter.com/7jyC65QWp8

And boy, does he get his wish.
We live in a very rural area, in a trailer, on an off road. Not a lot of traffic. Since getting Tango, there are ~4 dedicated people who come every day to feed him, and random stops from new people throughout the day. He gets v excited for his snacks:

He very much appreciates belly rubs.
and he literally lays down like this to sleep because he's too lazy to stand and sleep, so people knock on our door all day like OH NO HE'S DEAD pic.twitter.com/nSl2bruVEB

He doesn't love costumes but will deal if they get him extra pets.

If the costumes doesn't yield snackies, he is not down.

After his owner posted about his reticence to stay in the barn, Tango went viral.
"We built the HORF a barn two winters ago for when the weather is bad," his owner wrote, "filled it with hay and feed, and yet I can guarantee you when there are a few inches of snow on the ground in a few days, that [fool] will be standing alone in the middle of the pasture, miserable... My dad is building a gate to attach to the barn so he can trap the HORF in it during the snow, because otherwise Tango will go lay down in the feet of snow and just become a horse-cicle because he is too stupid to understand a barn."
Look at him last year. He had a completely dry, warm barn with hay and feed and here he is, in the middle of the pasture, doing the stupid horse version of the This Is Fine dog pic.twitter.com/PFSTIBDq6H

He may not be the brightest bulb, but everybody loves Tango.
Yesterday my mom said some lady came to the door to tell her how pretty tango is and the lady started crying about it
This is normal We don't know why everyone is obsessed with the horse Dad calls it Tango's white privilege — (sad yeehaw) (@mckellogs) December 7, 2018
This is especially true for the Internet.
You didn't know you needed this thread, but you totally did.
Also, I now want a Tango the Horf Picture Book. https://t.co/zi3C6coJ7L — Laura Anne Gilman (@LAGilman) December 14, 2018
So there's really only one question left: where are the extra snackies?!
Baby HORF/wonkey says thanks everyone for the kind words but also where are the snackies. pic.twitter.com/TNWy4dGjV3
