New United States Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke rode a horse to work on his first day in office.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) welcomed Zinke, saying "Let's get to work!"

"BSEE is pleased to welcome the new Department of the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. "Lets get to work!" BSEE tweeted.

"Honored to stand with the brave officers of @USParkPolice - these professionals put their lives on the line for us. Humbled by the warm welcome at @Interior this morning" Zinke said in a series of tweets.

"My first meeting as Secretary of the @Interior is with ethics. #LeadingByExample" he also tweeted.
