Two men were arrested last weekend in Austin, Texas, for driving while intoxicated.  Not an unusual occurrence on a Friday night, but in this case their "vehicles" weren't your everyday four-wheel-drive sort.  Their chosen form of transportation was a horse and a mule.

One of the men was celebrating his return to the saddle.   He had been seriously injured while being dragged during a fall from a horse; his injuries were so severe that he had spent a couple of weeks in the hospital.  

The ride they took around downtown, with a couple of stops for drinks on the way, was his manner of celebrating his return to health.  Unfortunately, he had had a few too many of those stops on the way.

Here is video from KVUE-Austin showing the men's arrest.
