A hungry horse got his owner into trouble last night when it treated a local service station as a ride-through snack bar.
Police were searching for the drunken rider after he refused to pay for flowers his horse ate while stopped outside the service station in West Sydney just after 9pm.
Well they found the drunk man and his flower happy horse.
The man, nicknamed "Cowboy" and his horse "Donkey" apologised for the trouble they made last night.
At the time of the incident the man was inside the store making a purchase while the horse ate the two bunches of flowers, each worth $20.
When the attendant confronted the rider, who appeared to be drunk, and asked him to pay, the man refused and a short scuffle erupted.
The police decided not to charge Cowboy with drink riding as no evidence could be found that he was over the limit. The service station staff accepted the apology.
Police have said it probably isn't the last they have seen of Cowboy and Donkey.
So what of overcoming adversity ?
Man loses licence
Man buys horse
Horse gets hungry
Horse eats flowers
Adversity overcome!
