Texas ain't what it used to be, apparently; the good old days of horses and cowboys are fading fast. Just look what happened outside Dallas.
In the northeast Texas town of Allen, hours after sun set, rancher Rick Braun saddled his pony for a trot to the local Taco Bell he's patronized on horseback for years. But it may have been Braun's last ride through town.
Because two weeks ago, Allen police officers detained Braun and his riding buddies to inform them horseback travel was prohibited in the city, and to issue $266 citations to each for "riding animal on public street," reports WFAA.
Police officials told WFAA they had asked Braun to stop riding his horse publicly before. They also said they'd gotten complaints of horse poop on the street, and worried that the dark animals with no taillights were hard to see in the dark.
