The unusual sight was captured on film near Corrigan by passing motorist Ami Parbs, who said she owns miniature horses. "The horse did not look spooked, he looked healthy, actually he looked like he was enjoying the wind blowing in his mane," Parbs told KTRK. Texas law allows adults, animals and, in some circumstances, children to ride unsecured in a pickup bed. He explained the situation by telling the officers that his horse trailer was broken and that he needed to get the animal to work at the Stockyards. In the complaint, police said the horse was being held in place only by the reigns and had its hooves near the edge of the open truck bed.
