We all have our moments, but this horse might just take the cake. TikToker Ashtin (@ashtin717) shared a video that's cracking people up, showing her horse turning a simple situation into a full-blown tantrum.

The horse is tied to a trailer, though it's unclear whether they're about to head out or have just returned. Whatever the case, the horse is having some big feelings. Horses can react strongly to discomfort, frustration, or even boredom, and while we don't know exactly what's causing it here, one thing is certain: This horse is NOT happy.

She's perfectly fine, just insanely stupid #fyp#horsesaredumb#maresareterrible

What makes Ashtin's video even funnier is that she says this is the third tantrum of the day! Her caption cracked us up, too. "She's perfectly fine, just insanely stupid.#horsesaredumb#maresareterrible"

Horses are highly expressive animals, and what looks like a "tantrum" is often their way of communicating that something isn't quite right. Ashtin's horse is just dramatic about it!

It didn't take long for viewers to weigh in, and this horse's over-the-top reaction had everyone cracking up. They also left more than 1,700 comments, and some of them were just as funny as the video itself. Like @leah, who shared a screenshot of the horse with all four legs off the ground and said, "I'm dead, hello!!!!!"

@Taylor Helton joked, "You know it's bad when the pony is judging you, lol!" Another commenter replied, "Yes, especially because Mini Ponies can be something else!"

We laughed when @Chantal Lacombe pointed out, "I just want to put a moment of recognition out there for that trailer manufacturer, because that thing did not move. Well done."

"I swear horses act like it's THEIR card connected to the vet account," shared @citylightsandtigerbites. @One Stale French Fry added, "I'm glad she didn't overreact..." She was the exact opposite of chill!
