Texas Transportation

Yep, we live in Texas.  This is what people seem to think when I tell them I'm from Texas and this guy is just keeping the stereotype alive.  Granted, a couple years ago he was probably traveling this same route through a field.  As long as he has his horse properly shoed, this is just fine.  Horseshoes are specifically designed for horses that are being ridden but especially for those who are going to be on hard ground or pavement.

Wild horses of course are not shoed. They live on soft land and need to have their hooves wear away naturally.  Otherwise hooves will get out of hand and be a real mess.  We've seen horses on the side of the main highway before but this is a first.

Amber asked why this guy is riding a horse down the street but  we aren't allowed to have chickens due to the HOA.  Well, this guy isn't in the HOA and he's using a public right-of-way which the HOA really has no control over.  Anyone can use the streets without restriction since they're public.

So, looking at this picture do you think this is sunrise or sunset?  Not telling which direction this was facing since that would obviously give it away.
