Ohio drivers got a shock last Saturday when two police horses came charging down a major highway near Cleveland. The horses had escaped the Cleveland Mounted Police stables and were wearing only halters.

Video of the police pursuit shows a bay horse seeming to be the ringleader as a black horse stays several lengths behind. The equines, who apparently escaped during “routine care and exercise,” are seen trotting and cantering down I-90 in the opposite direction of the traffic as a police vehicle is on the shoulder and a lone officer on foot, carrying a lead shank, tries to wave at the animals to slow down.
