After U.S. Senatorial Candidate Roy Moore rode to the voting booth on horseback, we found other situations that are saddle-appropriate. USA TODAY

Two well known New York tabloids were of similar minds after Republican Roy Moore's defeat Tuesday in Alabama's Senate election. 

"Perv Moore loses in Alabama ... and the horse you rode in on," reads the New York Post's cover for Wednesday's edition. 

"Screw you & the horse you rode in on," the New York Daily News cover reads. 

The papers are both mocking Moore's arrival at his polling station Tuesday on horseback. Moore's defeat was a stunning loss in a Republican stronghold like Alabama and a political embarrassment for President Trump who strongly backed the controversial conservative.
