CORRIGAN, Texas - The driver responsible for carrying a horse atop a pickup truck on a 59 near Corrigan, Texas, Saturday, was ticketed for a defective taillight and may face charges for cruelty to animals, police say.

Corrigan police released a statement saying officers pulled over the half-ton pickup truck and learned from the driver that he was transporting the horse – secured only by its reins -- from Lufkin to Livingston, a nearly 40-mile stretch

Should've just let the horse gallop on the freeway like the one on 610 near Cullen a year or two ago.

Almost as bad as all the unrestrained small children I see in cars all the time. Why don't people here use car seats? I've seen toddlers and babies sitting in laps. Small children standing up in the back seat, or sitting unrestrained. Kids in the front.

You may be Texan but you're not hauling a horse in the bed of your pickup truck with a busted taillight Texan.

I see unrestrained dogs on the back of a pickup all the times. So, maybe they think it's OK to do the same with the horses.
Same (idiotic) idea, just bigger animal...
It looks like the driver was holding the horse reins through the broken rear window.

Someone called it horse truck surfing and horsing around... lol

This is what you'd get if Ford let the people who drive their trucks make the commercials on TV.
