?cache=xugfqpwsjf&ops=scalefit_720_noupscaleARRESTED FOR RUI (Riding Under the Influence)
Police in Florida arrested a 53-year-old woman on Thursday afternoon for allegedly riding a horse while drunk.
Donna Byrne appeared confused and smelled strongly of alcohol when Polk County Sheriffs Office deputies pulled her over on a busy Lakeland road just after 1:30 p.m., according to multiple reports.
She was found to be more than twice the legal breath-alcohol limit for driving
No Florida Man , but it'll have to do

Defense: The horse was driving and the horse wasn't drunk. The horse was the designated driver.

Donna Byrne was just a passenger.

At least not on the right side of her mouth.
My guess is that she is very poor. Whether alcohol abuse caused the poverty or the other way around is unknown to us.

(33,518 posts)9. Just trying to spur on a bit more interest, but I seem to have harnessed some neigh votes for my...
efforts and stalled.
I'm not really jockeying for attention here, so I'll try to reign in my comments and take a different tack in stride lest I unbridle some sensibilities here. I probably should trot somewhere else.
