Accurate Information

  Visuals appear authentic (breathing steam, natural movement) and not obvious CGI.
  Horses triggering Ring doorbell cameras is a documented phenomenon with other verified instances.

Inaccurate Information

  No verifiable source or news report confirms this specific event occurred on October 31, 2023.
  The video is shared by a content aggregator (@myhouseplan), not the original owner, obscuring its origin.

Missing Context

  The 'Halloween' date (Oct 31) combined with the lack of news coverage suggests this could be a staged prank by a horse owner rather than a spontaneous escape.
  Similar viral videos exist (e.g., 'Did Somebody Order a Horse?' on RingTV), but none match this specific timestamp.
