It's doesn't pay to drink and ride.

A man has been cited for public intoxication while riding a white horse during a snowstorm in the northern Wyoming town of Cody, while a British court has fined a man 150 pounds ($215) after he admitted riding a horse while drunk.

Authorities in Wyoming said they cited 28-year-old Benjamin Daniels after they received a call Sunday afternoon from a motorist concerned that a man was creating a road hazard by riding his horse on a street in conditions with poor visibility. Daniels will go before a municipal judge later.

In Britain, Godfrey Blacklin pleaded guilty to a charge under the 1872 Licensing Act of being drunk in charge of a carriage horse, cattle or steam engine.

Prosecuting lawyer David Thompson said 31-year-old Blacklin was stopped by police while riding bareback in Newcastle, northeast England, in October. Officers found he was unsteady on his feet and slurring his words.

Blacklin's lawyer said the defendant admitted he was drunk at the time. Magistrates on Friday ordered him to pay the fine and 35 pounds ($50) in costs.
