About Sandbox

Herd of 3-ft tall horses run amok in Ontario town

Police in Chatsworth near the Styx River got calls about mini horses running around the town.

Someone with a small yard was able to corral them until help arrived.

 

Who Let the Mini Horses Out?

(Chatsworth, ON.) Like the common stadium song, “who let the dogs out” reports of mini horses running on Highway 6 last week had Grey County O.P.P. wondering who let the mini-horses out.

The first call came in on Thursday (08-May-08) during the noon hour when a concerned motorist stopped at a home on Highway 6 to report he had just seen a small herd of mini horses running on the highway in the area of Side Road 5 in Chatsworth Township. The police received other reports around the same time. An officer attended and patrolled, however no mini horses were found.

About 3 hours later a second call was received about 4 mini horses, three or four feet tall, running on the highway. Fortunately, this time a person in the neighbourhood with a fenced in area was able to coral them and keep them secure.

The owner was contacted and arrangements have been made for their retrieval, probably today (12-May-08 ).
