A nursery teacher was left in hysterics when her lockdown story time reading for her toddlers was interrupted by a pair of, er, frisky horses.
Eloise Roberts of Moreton, Merseyside, was reading aloud from a children's book about unicorns when a couple of horses photobombed the sweet moment with an X-rated show.
With nurseries running on reduced hours during lockdown, teacher Eloise has been getting creative, filming videos and activities to entertain little ones while they're indoors.
Wanting to film a story reading in a new setting, the 32-year-old had the brainwave of using the horse riding school run by her partner Steph Smith, 29.
With its backdrop of blue skies, white fences and ponies, the riding school seemed the perfect for a reading of Pop-Up Peekaboo! Unicorn.

Eloise roped Steph into filming her reading from the book, with their horses Sarsons, six, and Anakin, five, in the background.
The pair planned to stream the video live, to give the nursery kids an exciting experience.
But, as it turned out, the horses were the ones getting excited.
The hilarious video shows Eloise as she begins to read.

"Cupcake flies through the forest and flutters her beautiful wings," she begins.
In moments, the nursery teacher is gatecrashed by Anakin and Sarsons, who begin to mount each other in the background, leaving Elouise in fits of giggles.
The hanky panky didn't end there, though.

Eloise and Steph made two more attempts at a reading, but the horses were clearly caught in the moment and carried on with their explicit displays of affection.
Eventually, the nursery teacher had to give up and film in a different field.
The resulting footage was inappropriate for kids but Eloise shared the hysterical video with friends and family via Facebook.
Eloise said: "I was trying to do a little video for the kids, something different instead of being sat inside on the safo, but the horses had other ideas.
"Anakin only got gelded last year so he still can be a bit frisky but I was still not expecting that.
"They must have been bored of my story.
"I could see Steph laughing and I could hear that the horses were up to something behind me.
"I didn't want to stop reading to look but as I did I burst out laughing too. We tried to film it a second time but they just kept doing it. It was hilarious.
"Obviously I couldn't share it on the nursery page because it's not so appropriate for the kids but I decided to post it on my own Facebook and people have loved it.
"Everyone thinks it's hilarious and my friends have been messaging me to tell me they just keep watching it."

Eloise, thank you. This was the laugh we needed at the moment.
