Patrick Neal Schumacher, the Drunken Horseman

Every once in a while, you lose your driver's license over some silly DUI and have to ride your horse to your brother's wedding.  Patrick Neal Schumacher didn't let his suspended license stop him from making the 600 mile journey to his brother's nuptials in Bryce, Utah.  He did what any real American would do.  He strapped his trusty pet pug into his backpack, gingerly placed his pistol in his saddlebag, and grabbed a couple of six packs of beer.  Anyone who's ever ridden more than a few miles on a horse would concede that he was going to need it.

To get into the wedding spirit and make his journey more tolerable, Schumacher drank a couple of cans while he trotted along.  Unfortunately, he was riding through Boulder, Colorado, and the buzzkill authorities arrested him for occasionally swaying into traffic on his stallion.  Give a cowboy a break, guys!  A horse has a mind of its own.  You can't expect it to stay in a straight line all the way to Utah.

Here's hoping Schumacher makes it to the big day somehow.
