Horses run through the streets of Chula Vista for more than an hour

 

A dozen horses ran through the streets of Chula Vista for more than an hour Wednesday evening before being corralled. 

TV news footage showed the horses galloping down streets and parking lots, with authorities giving chase.

According to Channel 5 News San Diego, the horses stampeded through the Eastlake section of the San Diego County town, prompting curiosity from passing motorists but no injuries.

It's unclear how the horses got loose, but the TV station said authorities eventually got all the horses corralled and returned them to their owners.

An investigation is continuing.

Must have been frighting. . . for those horses! "Why are all those humans chasing us?"

I was thinking the same thing! No wonder they're running. Stop chasing, they will stop running, eventually.

You know the problem is any time someone can play cowboy and think they can gain control of these animals they are going to act like morons and do it!!! The idiot on horseback with delusions of the Lone Ranger ought to have his head examined!!! If these jerks were any type of horse people, they would have known that the thing you want to do is spook them!!! Just as the animal control officer said, leave them alone and they will settle down and return to where ever they came from. I hope they file some sort of interference charges against that fool.
