A woman has been charged after allegedly riding a horse to a pub while drunk.
Police arrested the 51-year-old woman after she rode the horse from Marsden, in Brisbane?s south, to the Logan City Tavern and allegedly recorded a blood alcohol level four times the legal limit.
Officers from Springwood attended the tavern on Wembley Road at Logan Central around 11.30pm Monday night, in relation to a woman refusing to leave the licensed premises
?Upon arriving at the business the female allegedly rode the horse through the drive-through section of the tavern and appeared heavily intoxicated,? police said.
Officers walked the horse back to Logan Central Police Station where the woman allegedly provided a positive BAC of 0.226 per cent. (4 and a half times over legal limit)
Council workers assisted in walking the horse back to a Marsden address.
In footage released by Queensland Police, officers can be heard telling the woman, seated atop the animal: ?It?s the same as driving a car; you can?t ride a horse over the legal limit.?
The woman was charged with being in charge of a horse whilst under the influence of liquor.
She will appear in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on June 26.
?Police want to remind the public that drink driving does not just mean a vehicle, it can include a horse,? Queensland Police said in a statement.
