Not all [selfies](http://time.com/4718143/selfie-exhibition-saatchi-gallery-london/) are created equal, especially when it comes to including animals in the photos. Kait put all other animal-selfie enthusiasts to shame after sneaking her mom’s 25-year-old, 1,000 pound horse Tucker into her parent’s bathroom, [according](http://mashable.com/2017/04/06/girl-sneaks-horse-into-parents-bathroom-for-slefies/?utm%5Fcid=hp-n-3#CEDLyYj3AOqU) to _Mashable._

Although Kait had other equestrian options to gallop into her pictures, she decided on Tucker for a reason. Kait told _Mashable_ Tucker was her first choice for the photoshoot because of his “been there done that” attitude and “general unflappability.” Kait justified bringing Tucker inside for the unconventional modeling gig: “I wanted some [really funny selfies](http://time.com/4650300/vin-diesel-twitter/) that no one had ever seen before.”

> [](https://twitter.com/Mares4Life/status/849250350045462528)

Kait ensured she took the utmost care of both her home and Tucker before snapping the mirror [selfies](http://time.com/4728570/woman-selfie-california-bridge/). She said, “I put four hoof boots on him so he wouldn’t get the floor dirty, then I just walked him in.”
