Riding your horses to the local brewery.

You can get a dui in any vehicle that moves. Wheelchairs included.

Not really, most other non motor vehicles have different, lesser, laws. For example riding a bicycle under the influence in California can get you a CUI conviction instead of DUI. Smaller penalties. Same with running a stop sign on a bicycle. It isn’t a strike against your car insurance for example.

Says the law offices of Richenvox & Associates. Good to know. Ditching the cops on a bicycle would be tricky.
 
Yeah, my wife painted that "horse parking only" sign at the Bistro in Corrales. She used to ride down a bunch, and idiots would park in front of the hitching post.

You can get arrested, too, for riding while hammered. Know a guy who it happened to.

Every state is different. I'm not sure if horse trails count. You will be hearing from the lawyers as Rickenvox and associates about this subject shortly.
 
So we have 'paths' along acequia's (or "ditches," which does not really do them justice). Non-motorized only (for some); but a public thoroughfare.

The village I'm talking about, people use the ditch paths as much as driving around.
 
My local brewery here in town. During autumn when they move the sheep south out of the mountains.

Mostly Basques and Peruvians do the work. Using traditional methods, old sheep wagons, and sheep herding dogs and Great Pyrenees for protection. You don't want to cross those big ol' dogs out on the trail, and want to keep your own dogs away from them.

That brings back memories. When I was a kid, where I live now was the boonies. They used to run sheep herds through the hills. Horned toads, scorpions, California Kingsbakes, and tarantulas were abundant. They are still here, just rare. No more sheep though.
 
my ex and I were planning to ride to our local bar a few years back, but it never materialized. would have been worth it to see the reactions, though the horses would have been freaked out.
 
You see the rail fence above, adjacent to the ditch - horses are thoroughly integrated into the community, and treated accordingly. (I wish they were as nice to cyclists, but that's a rant for another sub forum).

It wouldn't be right to take a horse somewhere they're going to be frightened.

I like the paint in the OP, btw. Looks like a real sweetie.

ranch dogs in general are not to be messed with and sheep dogs even more so. I imagine the Pyreneese is for the muscle work if a bear or wolf comes by and the sheep dogs do their thing or run back up to the GP .
