ARRESTED 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 Sheriff’s 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

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.

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.
