I'm sure the horse was more than content to just sit in the heated foyer

No! The vestibule is open 24 hours because there’s an ATM in the vestibule. Havn’t you ever used an ATM before?

I think in america, they would’ve arrested him for something. I’ve heard of people getting arrested for riding a bicycle drunk. They still consider it drunk driving.

So...let us count the laws he would have been charged with violating, in the American Capitol...

Having a Horse
Having a Horse in a Bank
Public Intoxication
DWI (On a Horse)
Loitering
Vagrancy
Tresspass
Tresspass of the Horse

..and I am sure a few others.

The German police “sent him on his way.”
