Alabama election day has finally arrived, and Republican Senatorial candidate Roy Moore made his grand entrance to the polls on horseback.

Moore — who's been banned from a mall, accused of sexual misconduct by 9 women, and alleged to have initiated a sexual encounter with a 12-year-old girl when he was 32 — probably thought arriving on a horse would be a nice distraction. But Twitter users and horse aficionados saw one glaring problem: the man's form was tragically terrible.

Footage of the ride shows an oddly stiff Moore awkwardly mounted on his horse, Sassy. (The horse does not seem thrilled to be included in Moore's narrative.)

Horse Twitter saddled up and came for Moore, brutally criticizing his form and throwing some serious equestrian shade his way.

Someone even took time out of their day to create a Sassy Twitter account with the bio: "I did not ask for this. I am just a horse. I had no choice in the matter."

According to the account, Roy Moore's horse does not want him to win the election, either.

Remember, everyone: In addition to the disgraceful harassment allegations, a vote for Moore is also a vote for terrible equestrian skills.
