Driving Montana

It is illegal to ride a horse while under the influence of alcohol.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

Montana's traffic laws explicitly include animals in their definition of vehicles when traveling on public roadways. Therefore, saddling up after a few too many drinks can land you a DUI, as you are operating a 'vehicle' while intoxicated. Even if the horse knows the way home, the rider is still legally responsible for the journey.
