A Chicago man known as the ‘Census Cowboy’ faces a felony charge after riding his horse more than 7 miles down a freeway without the proper footwear, severely injuring the animal, which prosecutors say may have to be euthanized.
Adam Hollingsworth, 33, was arrested earlier this week on charges linked to animal cruelty, reckless conduct, trespassing and other traffic offenses after staging a stunt on the Dan Ryan Expressway on horseback, shutting down the freeway as he rode the animal at galloping speed on rough pavement, critically wounding it.

Story

the latest is the horse will live.

azz clown

flaming liberal idiot...they should euthanize him!

Idiot, indeed.

I always have on my proper footwear while out on the trail riding.

Need to charge him with animal cruelty.

Clever little video....never really watched it before

I agree he needs an azz whippin. Those old western movie stunt Cowboys got some stories to tell about how many horses they right out killed or put down.

Took me while to realize the story meant the HORSE did not have the right footwear, not the rider. But hey, I know enough to know that I don't know enough about horses to do something like this without asking or doing some research.

Yep!
