Quit Horsing Around

LONDON, Ont. — A southern Ontario man must pay a $110 fine for allegedly cramming 54 people into a horse trailer to take them to a rodeo.

"It was like that old Volkswagen Beetle thing, with one (clown) in the glove box," Const. Kees Wijnands of the Ontario Provincial Police said.

"It was kind of comical, but this is of course a disaster waiting to happen."

Police came across the strange scene about 150 km west of Toronto Saturday after pulling over a pickup truck hauling a horse trailer that "appeared to have people inside of it."

"The officer thought there was something weird...all he could see was little fingers and heads at the top," Wijnands said.

When the driver opened the trailer door, 54 passengers started piling out, he said.

"The officers started counting and he just kept going and going and going."

This story basically reads like a country music video. Hasn’t this happened in a Tim McGraw song? Country boys and girls getting down on the farm!

I’m guessing there was a lot of denim piled into that horse trailer - enough to outfit Brett Favre’s entire family for three generations. Farva would have loved it!

The prospect of taking a road trip in a vessel that was loaded with horse feces with 53 other folks doesn’t sound like a dream vacation but when you’re bombed on Molson anything sounds like a good idea.
