Photos: A horse walks into a drive-thru ...
Passersby in downtown Billings were treated to an unusual sight Friday afternoon as Dakota Roberts and Riley Grove took their horses, Maker's Mark and Fireball, out to the 27th Street Hardee's drive-thru for sandwiches and milkshakes.
The two girls didn't think too much of the curious looks, as they've saddled up at other Billings fast food joints in the past.
