Talk about staying on brand… here’s a combo you didn’t expect—an Amish buggy pulling off donuts in the snow… right in front of a Dunkin’ Donuts. The Instagram account Go Explore Tennessee With Us recently shared a sight most folks don’t see every day: an Amish buggy going full tilt Tokyo Drift in a rural parking lot in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.

Set to Josiah Queen’s “Can’t Steal My Joy,” the cart driver gleefully guides their horse in circles. The buggy slides on the icy asphalt effortlessly. Meanwhile, a lonely Dunkin’ stands in the background, the irony lost on no one.
“Every day, I see something I didn’t think I’d ever see in my lifetime. This was one of those things,” the caption read to wild footage.
The Internet Reacts to Amish Buggy Driver’s Epic Parking Lot Drift
Locals flooded the comments to weigh in on the Amish buggy doing epic donuts in the snow.
“Legit spot…I was there last month at the same Dunkin and horse with buggy tied to the same street lamp,” one Lawrenceburg denizen wrote. “I’m from Lawrenceburg, and that’s a first,” a second local added.
“Mustang owners getting shown up by Jethro,” another onlooker joked. “Thug Life in the Amish Paradise!” a second user quipped. “Haha, just when u think you have seen it all,” another amazed onlooker gushed.
“Amish people are simply the best!! Love y’all,” yet another Amish admirer exclaimed.
However, others who viewed the clip couldn’t help but clutch their pearls over the horse’s safety during the stunt.
“Seems like a bad idea to put the horse through this exercise,” one Karen wrote, likely on hold with someone’s manager. “Poor horse. It’s not fun for him/her. And he/she needs groceries,” a second sensitive soul wrote. “Yeah, how cool… when the horse slips [and] busts his knees, he gets shipped off across the country on busted knees to be sold for meat,” a third armchair expert declared.
Meanwhile, the Amish community in Ethridge, Tennessee, just north of Lawrenceburg, is the largest in the Southern United States. Located on both sides of Highway 43 North, this community consists of around 2,500 people and includes 14 Amish church districts.
Doing donuts in a buggy in a Dunkin’ parking lot might not be part of your average day, but the Amish sure know how to keep rural Tennessee interesting.
