Kauai hospital saddled with visiting horse by: Derek Paiva posted: Mon Mar 24, 2008 at 11:54 AM “I’m coming up to see a relative.”
That’s what a Kauai man said at Wilcox Memorial Hospital on Kauai—before taking a horse three floors upstairs.
Hospital security stopped the reportedly intoxicated man and his steed. He’d already trotted the horse through the hospital’s lobby and into an elevator, all to cheer up his relative.
But when he saw the stallion, the ailing patient said, “That’s not my horse.”
The incident, which happened earlier this month, went international this weekend as newswires picked up on the story.
It was a field day for headlines. BBC News: “Hospital Bridles at Horse in Lift.” FOX News: “Hospital to Visitor: No Horsing Around.” Honolulu Star-Bulletin: “Hospital Just Says Neigh to Horse.”
Security escorted the equestrian and his horse out of the hospital, into the truck and trailer in which they arrived. The pair left without incident.
(Letting an allegedly intoxicated dude drive away with a horse? Oh, well.)
The hospital did not release photos of the incident, nor the identity of the rider or the patient. The steed remains a horse with no name.
How does he know it’s not his horse? (pause)
“Cause I don’t OWN a horse!”.
Does your horse bite?
No
Nice horsey...Arrrr!! I thought you said your horse didn’t bite.
That’s not my horse.

It seems the hospital security officers lucked out.
Had this drunk hurt some one that night after he left the hospital these guys and the hospital could have been royally sued for not detaining him and calling the cops on an obviously drunken driver
The reason I know my horse didn’t bite you is that he’s so old he has no teeth.
Do you own a horse?
No.
Hey waiter! This looks like a piece of automobile tire in my soup!
It is, Sir. The automobile is replacing the horse in this country!
the guy took Chelsea to the hospital?
