2 Cute: Two Farm Horses Runaway and Head Straight to the Mall in Tacoma
I hope their names are Cher and Dionne, because they are two cute farm horses who ran away for a little window shopping--and this all happened at night, too.
I don't even blame them for running away; I, too, would like to go shopping at a mall in Tacoma!
The story is so adorable that it made national news. Fox5 in Atlanta even covered it recently on their show.
Pierce County Sheriff deputies had to be called, and it appears as though either the horses' owners or animal control ran through the streets helping to corral the horses away from a mall!
The video begins with someone recording shadows of one of the horses hiding by some trees and bushes near a strip mall.
The next scene in the bodycam footage shows two large, beautiful horses galloping through a parking lot, running past the Best Teriyaki, Classy Cuts, Smoke & More, and La Overa Negra Eatery stores in the East 72nd Plaza off 72nd Ave.
The horses took off and the video shows a few people with lassos running after them down the block.
The horses belonged to a farmer nearby who eventually showed up to capture them and return them home.
My Northwest reports the horses names are actually Niño (who's 3 yrs old) and Chuché (who is 4).
The horses' human family says that Chuché and Nino "love trouble." I don't think they love trouble, I think maybe they have the secret life of pets?
