US new secretary of the interior Ryan Zinke rode a horse to work on his first day in the job.
He arrived for his first day in charge of a fifth of the United States' surface land with serious swagger, wearing a cowboy hat and blue jeans, in the saddle of a tall brown horse, the Independent reported.
“Honored to stand with the brave officers - these professionals put their lives on the line for us,” Zinke tweeted.
The 55-year-old former Montana congressman resigned as a delegate to the Republican National Convention last year to protest the GOP's position in favour of land transfers to state or private groups.
