As gasoline prices rise, commuters are looking for ways to reduce their costs.

In Seattle, a dentist and his staff came up with a new way to get to work, based on the old way to get to work - horsepower.

More than half of the dental assistants and office staff at Dr. Keith Leonard’s practice own horses, and on Wednesday the crew saddled up and rode in to work.

Ten riders and two bicyclists met up at Leonard’s home, about four miles north of his office for the commute. City officials granted them a special permit to ride as a group.

Leonard said the ride was a way to encourage his patients to use alternative forms of transportation.
