Your prompt

Describe exactly what you see and explain why the concierge may need to contact the building supervisor.

A small horse wearing blue protective hoof covers stands calmly beside an apartment elevator with its handler. Surprised residents wait nearby while an automatic floor cleaner circles a loose bundle of hay.

Beside the elevator doors

A waist-high brown-and-white horse wears a green halter and four blue hoof covers.
Its handler holds a short lead and presses the elevator button with one elbow.

In front of the directory

A resident carrying two hockey sticks has stopped walking and is staring at the horse.
Another resident keeps a small dog behind a bench while checking the elevator floor display.

Centre of the lobby floor

A bundle of hay has slipped from a cloth bag and lies across the tile.
The building's round automatic floor cleaner repeatedly turns away from the hay.

Near the entrance

A delivery worker balances three parcels and leaves a wide path around the animal.
A folding sign reads 'Elevator inspection at 3 p.m.' and partially blocks the second elevator.
