Eighteen miniature horses are back home after escaping their pasture and wandering onto Northeast 88th Street near Andresen Road.
Four Clark County Animal Control officers responded to the intersection where they found the horses in the northeast corner of the road at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Witnesses reported that the animals were on the road, but when Clark County sheriff’s deputies first responded, the horses were already out of the way of traffic, animal control manager Paul Scarpelli said.
The 18 horses had escaped by going underneath the fence of a nearby pasture, Scarpelli said. Animal control officers corralled the animals, ushering them back underneath the spot in the fence from where they had escaped, he said.
Within about an hour to an hour and a half, the animals were back in the pasture and the owner was notified and repaired the fence, Scarpelli said.
