Alberta woman threatened with jail time for riding horse around town, rides again
An Alberta woman says she was threatened with jail time for riding her horse down the streets of the town on High River, south of Calgary.
“I love my horses, yes,” said Shelby Opheim, who operates a rescue farm for horses. “My auntie was a barrel racer so I kind of got into it when I was younger.”
She rides her horse Charlie everywhere – even through the drive-thru for coffee. Opheim said this helps Charlie get comfortable in different environments.
About six months ago, Opheim and Charlie began getting into trouble with the law. Opheim said peace officers threatened legal action because she was riding her horse around town.
“They have pulled me over six times in the last six months. The last time was Tuesday. They told me that I was no longer allowed to ride in town. I couldn’t have horses here. I could be arrested and put in jail.”
But as Doug Vaessen reports, that’s when the mayor got involved.
