Woman rides horse to DMV after license is suspended

(CBS) RICHMOND, Va. - A Virginia woman whose driver's license was suspended by mistake showed up at the DMV in downtown Richmond on a horse, looking to correct the error.

According to CBS DC, Ashlee Owens, 26, says her license was suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles because they hadn't received her proof of insurance despite numerous attempts to send it to the agency.

She says she only found out her license was suspended when she went to renew her truck registration.

So on Wednesday, CBS DC reports, Owens rode her quarter horse named Sassy to the DMV office, hitched it outside and hand-delivered the proper paperwork.

Originally she says the agency wanted her to pay hundreds to get her license back. But a DMV official listened to her story, waived the fees and reinstated her license.

Now that's horsepower.
