Horses on the Road
C.R.S. 42-4-109 — ride or lead a horse on the left side of the highway, facing traffic
Persons riding or leading animals on or along any highway ride or lead them on the left side of the highway, facing approaching traffic. The rule does not apply to people driving herds of animals along a highway.
Who handles this in Colorado: legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the Colorado directory.
Whether the impaired driving law reaches a rider is not settled by this section. A particular ticket is a question for a licensed Colorado attorney.
