The “Outerbridge Cowboy” Tod Mishler pleded guilty Monday to disorderly conduct for riding over the bridge from New Jersey to Staten Island last year on a severely emaciated horse.

As part of the plea deal Mishler — who claimed in court he’d rather die than lose the horse he was riding and another one he was leading — will be “barred from possessing horses in New York State for a period of two years,” according to the Staten Island District Attorney’s Office.

The urban cowboy also forfeited his rights to the two horses.

“When Mr. Mishler first rode into Staten Island, his two horses, Hope II and Charity, suffered from painful bleeding sores and showed serious signs of dehydration,” the borough’s District Attorney Michael McMahon said in a statement.

“I am proud to say that today both of these horses are fully recovered and have been placed under the care and supervision of trained professionals at facilities capable of meeting their everyday needs.”

The 80-year-old Mishler was decked out in a cowboy hat and spurs when trotted over the Outerbridge Crossing last June.

He surrendered the horses to authorities and charged with animal cruelty the next month after they were deemed neglected.

Mishler lawyer, Richard Luthmann, said the cowboy would likely set up shop in another state after his ordeal in court.

“I don’t think he wants to come back,” Luthmann told The Post.

“He just said, ‘Let’s be done with this. I’ll make a move and ride off into the sunset.'”
