State troopers in Indiana ended up in a hoof chase with a “sassy” pony spotted wandering on a highway median.
Sgt. Ted Bohner, public information officer for the Indiana State Police Bremen Post, said troopers responded to a report of a pony in the median on the Indiana Toll Road, near the 44 mile marker in LaPorte County. Advertisement
The equine fled before troopers arrived, and after more than a half hour of searching they located the pony near a fence line south of the Toll Road.
“The pony wasn’t ready for this adventure to end and continued on even though both troopers said ‘hay,’ stop,” Bohner wrote.
The hoof chase finally came to a close when the pony got itself tangled in some vines.
“The pony, identified as Sassy, was finally in custody,” Bohner said. “With the help of the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office, the troopers were able to contact Sassy’s owners. It was learned that Sassy had been a bit sassy earlier in the day and charged at her owner and escaped.” Advertisement
