"I looked at the riders and I told them 'You have got to go. This violates every policy we have.' "

"Every policy"?? I can just hear the little hipster prissily spouting this.

ftfa: "The Steamboat Pilot reported that police used a stun gun and arrested rider Michael Miller because he allegedly ignored police orders."

They always look for the weirdest looking witness.

God, I love the attitude of the people out west.

Violating all their policies in a single action has to be some sort of achievement.

FTA: "(Trying to warn the British, maybe?)"

Yah, warning them not to try to take away our guns. Damn redcoats...

Police: fark you and the horse you rode in on.

You know, I've ridden a horse through the drive-up at a Wendy's, and we ran a motorcycle through a McDonald's once. But I never rode INTO a store with a horse.

Not sure how you get through the door without laying flat on the saddle, almost. And someone would have to hold the doors open, unless it's one of those automatic ones.

/you'd need tall ceilings, too, unless you like having your head burnished off on the celotex.
//would also be bad if the horse spooked, just saying.

Damn, I was hoping David Schwimmer got fried running through an electrical field.

"I came out and saw three huge horses standing in front of our Starbucks counter, and one of the riders was trying to buy a bag of chips," Jackson told the Pilot.

And Jackson comes out of nowhere!

TFA: It's not clear yet what inspired the horsemen, and horsewoman, to ride through Steamboat Springs.

Well, whatever it was, I'm pretty sure they didn't set out with the intent to be shocked, assaulted, and kidnapped, then brought up on career-ending charges. What happened to this country where we can't look at a prank like this and laugh? Get them out of the stores, sure... but subdue and arrest? Grow a pair, you humorless twats.

It's "Hiyo, Silver!" subby, not Hi Ho. You're thinking of the Seven Dwarfs.

Followed by their brain melting down as it tries to determine whether the scene translates into a venti or grande mochfrapachino

Funniest thing I've ever read on this website. One of the riders, "Kenneth Recker" is the son of a good friend of mine, and I can just see him doing this kind of thing.

While riding (galloping the article says?) a horse into a store might sound like a funny prank, horses are big, often unpredictable animals and can be very dangerous if spooked or angered. Riding your horse into an enclosed space full of people with (likely) no horse experience and any number of things that could potentially set your horse off is irresponsible and dangerous. A kick from a horse can kill or maim, and if they were really galloping willy nilly around town they could have trampled someone. Riding a horse through a drive through? Sure. Leaving your horse tied up outside the bar while you drink? Fine. Galloping around town like a jackass and riding directly into stores and shops, putting other people and yourself into danger? No. Not okay. These people shouldn't be allowed to own horses.

I live a block from the bar they rode into, the OTP. I was there last night. I happened to be driving past the bar when the horses were tied to the rail outside. Texted my wife about it. Never, ever thought the Steamboat Pilot, let alone MY BAR, would make it to fark. This makes my day. Although, I did submit a better headline

Maybe it was those:
"I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. "

"When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come and see!" Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword."

"When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"

"When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. "
