Winnipeg police had no time for horsing around after two loose horses were found hoofing it through traffic within city limits early Tuesday.
Police were called to Plessis Road near St. Boniface Road after the pair of horses were seen wandering among vehicles near the intersection around 5:15 a.m.
Not wanting to “stirrup” any trouble, police sent in two officers who are familiar with horses.

Police said Tuesday the officers were able to calm the horses down long enough to put ropes around their necks and guide them off the roadway while nearby stables were checked to find their owner.
The horses were turned over to a nearby stable owner who took care of them until they could be turned over to their owner, presumably in “stable” condition.
There was no immediate word on what spurred the horses to leave their pasture.
