    I believe this is still a DUI even though the horse is smart enough to cause any trouble

      It is and it isn’t. If you are actively riding the horse and in control of the reigns then you are operating a means of transportation and thus can get a DUI.

      On the flip side if your passed the fuck out and slung over the horse and the horse is dragging your drunk ass home. You can’t get a DUI. You can get charged with other things tho.

      It varies slightly depending where you are. But it’s a rather silly problem that rarely comes up.
