Man Builds Motorized Horse
This is a video highlighting Steve Bacque (aka the Crazy Cranford Cowboy), a former Texas rodeo cowboy who married a lady from New Jersey, moved there, and had no place to keep a horse in the area. So what did he do? Built a reigns-controlled one powered by an electric golf cart motor and named it Charger. Man, sometimes I wish I was a crazy person.
Charger can do up to 40 miles per hour (though he has a governor to rein him in to about 15 miles per hour) and can handle up to 600 pounds. Charger even has a wheelie bar in the back, which is "not just for show," Bacque warns. Yes, this motorized horse can pop a (small) wheelie.
Charger turns left and right with the reins and even brakes when you pull back on them. A key turns him on, and a gas pedal sets him in motion.

Today is National Horse Protection Day
National Horse Protection Day was created to bring light to
the plight of horses in America and beyond and help the thousands of unwanted
horses in this country to find forever homes.
The horse has a legendary mystic on the American
culture. It helped to forge a nation and
yet despite that many go unwanted, abused or neglected. National Horse Protection Day is about
addressing those issues.
How to Observe
Do you have the means and ability to adopt? Perhaps you
have spare time or an interest in horse husbandry. Check out the website below for more
information on ways to get involved. Use #HorseProtectionDay to post on social
media.
History
National Horse Protection Day was founded in 2005 by Pet
Lifestyle Expert and Animal Behaviorist/Advocate, Colleen Page.
