The former One Direction singer revealed he had never a ridden a Horse to Ms Cousins-Greenwood and her team as they shared a lunch break together.

The Hemel Hempstead company has worked with many celebrities including Sir Anthony Hopkins and the late Paul O 'Grady.

" I'm pleased that The Horse went nice and high, he can be lazy at times, " said the trainer.
The Friesian Horse , named Teake, was not initially meant to star in the video.
Originally a Horse named Carnival was chosen, with Teake brought along to The Shoot to keep the white stallion company.
However, The The video's director preferred Teake and Carnival was forced to instead appear in the background of A Shot .
The Firm also provided a parrot for the video shoot.
Poppleguy The Parrot sits on Styles' shoulder as he feeds him a cashew nut.
Ms Cousins-Greenwood said that inclusion was unplanned because, although The Parrot often features in music videos, he does not normally like to sit on people's shoulders.
" He's a little bit picky and he went straight on Harry Styles ' shoulder, The Sign of a good vibe, " She Said .
