A Florida horse gets his weekly fix at the local Dunkin’ Donuts

NICK EICHER, HOST: Once a week, a Florida Dunkin Donuts drive-through gets a little giddyup.

That’s when cowboy and retired bull rider David Bosselait visits the donut shop on his 8-year-old horse, Jackson.

They only come once a week because it’s a 12-mile round trip from his house and on a horse, that’s a half-day event.

Bosselait told TV station WBBH, he always orders a cup of coffee. And Jackson enjoys the sweets and the attention.

BOSSELAIT: And they like to pat him and scratch him, and they hand him his donut.

So what’s his preference? Bavarian cream?

Jelly-filled?

Nah, Jackson keeps it simple.

BOSSELAIT: His order is just a plain donut.

With apologies to Toby Keith and Willie Nelson.

Coffee for my men, donuts for my horses!

It’s The World and Everything in It.
