Has a horse ever been ridden on a road so fast that it was caught by a speed camera?

Question

How would the authorities track it down - as horses are not born with numberplates on their bottoms.

Would the horse get the ticket, or the rider?

Isn't there a danger that the double flash from the gatso might startle the poor beast?

Answer 1

perhaps in a mare-cedes benz..

or even a  mustang

Answer 2

well horses can only reach 30mph at their fastest so i dont think it will happen!!!!

Answer 3

oh they just did that back in the days of the old west. And the horses were running at great speeds due to the fact that somebody was either shooting at the rider or they just robbed da bank. Sometimes the law did catch up to them and the rider was hung....the horse was sold. Have a good day

Answer 4

a horse can reach about 45mph but i doubt they'd do it on a road as the impact would hurt their legs. so it is technically possible.

Answer 5

It would have to be a Police Horse, because you cannot go faster than a trot whilst riding on the road.

Answer 6

If it happened it must have been injected with some illegal performance enhancing drug to win the derby or something. His urine was probably tested at the end of the race and it was disqualified from running again. In any case the trainer and jockey must have had to pay a heavy fine, but the horse was able to enjoy a good and quiet retirement well away from the heavy chore of horse racing.
