Don't Ride 'Em, Cowboy
A man in Tennant Creek, in Australia’s Northern Territory, has lost his driving licence for riding his horse home from a pub while drunk in April, despite being told by police not to do so. A local magistrate has now disqualified the man from driving for six months.
FOOTNOTE: Rein forecast.

Drunk in charge of a horse? LOL
Now he will have to ride his horse.

Well..... I suppose if you aren't in control of a horse it could do a lot of damage. Especially to the horse!
That is too funny.
It doesn't seem right to me that he would lose a driver's license for riding a horse, but maybe that judge had more facts than we see in the short version of the account.
I wonder if it was illegal to ride his horse where he was.
Uuhh ... well, I can see where riding a horse home drunk would be bad, but how come he loses his car licence when he wasn't driving? What's the connection?
What am I missing here?
Oh, and didn't our great-grandfathers routinely let the old horse find his way home when they were too drunk to steer? LOL!
One wonders how Tam O'Shanter would have coped with this magistrate.
