Yes.
Ohio Revised Code sect 4511.19(A)(1) No person shall operate any vehicle, streetcar, or trackless trolley within this state, if, at the time of the operation, any of the following apply:
(a) The person is under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or a combination of them.
The definition of a vehicle would include a bicycle.
Section 4511.05: Persons riding or driving animals upon roadways
Every person riding, driving, or leading an animal upon a roadway is subject to sections 4511.01 to 4511.78, inclusive, 4511.99 [penalties], and 4513.01 to 4513.37, inclusive, of the Revised Code, applicable to the driver of the vehicle, except those provisions of such sections which by their nature are inapplicable.
So THAT'S how you'd be in trouble for Riding a horse intoxicated, or a bicycle. Also, you might get a public intox.

Yes it goes against the highway code, as you are in charge of a moving vehicle...a bicycle is considered a mode of transport and therefore included in the highway code.
The Highway Code stated that:
You must not ride (a bicycle) when under the influence of drink or drugs.
Law RTA 1988 sects 24, 26, 28, 29 & 30 as amended by RTA 1991
It is legal to ride a horse while drunk, but seeings as though a horse has a mind of its own I wouldn't attempt riding one while drunk, unless you like your local A&E Dept.
(I must point out this in in the UK only)

I think the horse might just get away with being drunk and riding a bike :-)

Yeah, I think its called public intoxication. And you can be drunk and just walking and be cited for that. Also, if you are riding a horse and are drunk, you could possibily, not 100% sure, but might be charged with cruelity to animals if you aren't being careful while riding.

Yes on both counts in the UK. Though I cant find any account of anyone being arrested for being drunk in charge of a horse. If you go for it, please make sure youre not too pi**ed to make sure the horse is safe. And let your local TV/radio station know...it would make a great news piece!

A local guy got nailed for DUI while driving his lawn tractor along the side of the road. Not sure if these laws applies to non-motorized rides or not though.

Yes for sure! they are both moving violations and technically a bicycle and a horse are both controlled by the riders. Heck, my brother was once arrested in NJ for drunking walking, I kid you NOT!
