Jake Williams allegedly drove his truck and horse trailer to a daiquiri shop in Denham Springs and opted to ride the horse, Sugar, back home instead of driving, according to police.
Police stopped him and he was issued a summons for disturbing the peace by intoxication. The Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office said riding a horse does not qualify the man for a DWI.
But Williams told WBRZ-TV that he felt riding the horse was a good idea: "When you get a little too much to drink, why not ride a horse? It's safer that way. The horse knows the way home."

In Alabama, my uncle got a DUI while riding his horse on the side of the road. He rode it everywhere due to having his license suspended from another DUI.

Horses are smart like that, back in the early 1900s a local man used to get so drunk at the bar he'd pass out there. The other local drinkers would put him in his buggy and slap his horse on the butt to send it off home. The horse knew the way and would carry the drunk man back to his house every time.
This was one of the stories I wasn't supposed to tell when giving tours of the dude's old house, but it survived the ages via good old country folks gossip. It was in the training literature I had to read with a side note "in poor taste"
