A Pasco Sheriff’s Office deputy gave us all a big smile while rounding up a runaway horse on Wednesday morning. Who would expect to see a gorgeous paint running north on US 19 in the Hudson area at 8:00 a.m.?
When the deputy spotted the horse, he carefully pulled up alongside of him while calling the Agricultural Unit for assistance.
“We’re traveling at one horse power,” the deputy could be heard saying.
But that wasn’t all the deputy said. On the organization’s Facebook page, the polite and exemplary officer of the law is heard asking the horse to “please stop” and repeated the request twice, however the horse just wasn’t in the mindset to heed the man in uniform. Instead it has been told he had been “just horsin’ around.”
Fortunately, the horse was successfully corralled as officers directed him to take a left on Rainbow Oaks Drive and into a subdivision along Emerald Ridge Drive where he was out of danger of oncoming traffic. Deputies were then able to stop him and locate his owners. All’s well that ends well; the horse is fine and has been reunited with his family.

Did you know that if you want to get updates from a Facebook page, you need to do more than “like” it? To get recent postings in your Facebook feed, you must also hover your mouse over the word “following” and then click “see first” from the drop-down menu. You may want to check back with your favorite pages on occasion because Facebook often changes your settings, no longer having your having your favorites among those to “see first.

Beautiful horse. Glad he was caught and reunited with his family.
Glad he was a nice man, loved animals. Cops today tend to just shoot and get on with business.
Glad the escapee is back with family.
One of our horses is an escape artist and we worry about him when he gets loose…..
Bravo to all those wonderful people who helped this treasure get home…….
Love that officer……..LOLOLOLOL
