Oh, yeah, Carol. I notice the stories online every few months, mostly in Florida and Texas. Apparently, some people ride their horses to the bar. I'd worry about it being stolen. It isn't like there is a Club for horses...
Is a horse a motor vehicle?

In Maryland You can get DUI on horse, bike, lawnmower, golf cart ect.
We still have unauthorized use of livestock as a law we use it alot since it applies to cars and I guess horses too since it says live stock. Its like a lesser degree of vehicle theft.

I suppose, considering some people use horses and buggies to get around a horse would be kind of a vehicle but not a real vehicle since a horse is a live flesh and blood living being.
The buggy they put behind it is a vehicle though.

A horse is an animal that reaches thousands of pounds. They could be a major danger if directed into traffic by an intoxicated rider.
Yes, Black beauty covered that I believe.
Thankfully a horse also has (arguably) a self preservation instinct. cars lack that as of now.

I have a friend that works for another police department. He was running code 3 down a 4 lane highway about 2 am and a horse came out of nowhere jumped onto the hood of his car. I saw the pictures Ive never seen so much blood. Totalled the police car thankfully it hit the passenger side the hardest so my frined was not hurt.

For all the romance people have about horses, they are remarkably stupid animals. A horse will walk right off a cliff, if you let it.
LOL, some have outright suicidal tendencies, indeed.
He was damn, lucky!

A good friend of mine rides a mule. He gave me a whole list of reasons, a mule is stronger, a mule is smarter, a mule this, a mule that... But, what is really comes down to, he does it just to be contrary. His whole family drives Chevy trucks, he drives a ford...

It's the same over here in Australia, you can also be arrested for riding a camel drunk, or a pushy.
Big don, while I agree with you that horses aren't the smartest (equivalent to a sheep apparently), they aren't quite that stupid, unless they are in a blind panic.

I'm not too sure if you can register a horse on the roads. At least I've never seen one with a numberplate taped to its backside.
Here in Victoria you have to register anything that goes on the road with the exception of towed vehicles (trailers...etc) No where does it say anything about horses :S

I know where I live a horse is a motor vehicle. You can tie them to parking meters but you must pay for the time they are there.
