Springwood police were called to Logan City Tavern on Wembley Road at Logan Central around 11.30pm last night after reports a woman would not leave the premises.

However when officers arrived, they allegedly found the woman riding through the tavern’s drive through while heavily intoxicated.

The woman was arrested and taken to Logan Central Police Station, where she allegedly blew more than four times the limit — recording a blood alcohol concentration of 0.226 per cent.

Officers walked the horse back to Logan Central Police Station while the woman was processed before council workers assisted in walking the horse back to a Marsden address.

Damien Stephen, a manager at Logan City Tavern, said he was not too perturbed by the incident and it was a first for the business.

“While I can say too much, I suspect for the person involved it was just a spur of the moment thing,” Mr Stephen said.

The 51-year-old woman was charged with being in charge of a horse while under the influence of liquor.

She is due to appear in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on June 26.

Police want to remind the public that drink driving does not just mean a vehicle, it can include a horse.

Turns out you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink at the drive through.
