Horse Hijinks: Loose Colts Cause Stir on Garrisonville Road

July 26, 2024

STAFFORD, Va. — A trio of loose horses created quite a scene on Garrisonville Road near Rock Hill Church Road on the night of July 19th. At 10:05 p.m., Sergeant A.T. Leckemby responded to a call from the Emergency Communications Center reporting the roaming animals.

Upon arrival, Sergeant Leckemby discovered the three horses—humorously dubbed Harry Trotter, David Hasselhoof, and John Bon Pony—trotting along the roadway. Despite their unexpected freedom, the horses were not far from their corral.

Sergeant Leckemby, channeling his inner Rip Wheeler, managed to stabilize the situation. With the assistance of a helpful neighbor, the horses were safely returned to their enclosure, concluding this brief episode of equine escapades.
