    logo_ycsoClarkdale AZ (March 18, 2016) – On March 16 around 6AM, YCSO Animal Control Officers (ACO) was dispatched to a remote area on Sycamore Canyon Road outside of Clarkdale, Arizona. The caller to YCSO indicated a miniature horse was stuck in a cattle guard built into the roadway. It was still dark and drivers were having difficulty seeing the horse.

Although the use of a tractor was considered to help lift the animal, the trio decided to attempt lifting her out by hand using straps placed under her mid-section. The effort was a success! The horse had a minor flesh wound on one of her legs apparently caused when she fell into the guard, but was otherwise fine. The ACO learned her name was ‘Coffee.’

    The ranch hand returned ‘Coffee’ to a secure area on the ranch. A large animal vet arrived a short time later to check the non-life threatening injury.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
