Milton Keynes horses escape from paddock to go 'sightseeing'

Tuesday, 28 November 2023 11:26

Two horses, Spice and Effie, escaped their paddock on the weekend and went 'sightseeing' before being found by their owner and officers.

Spice reportedly took Effie on a 'sightseeing' tour on the weekend after escaping their paddock.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said that Spice, 29, "should known better."

"Butter wouldn’t melt…. That’s what you might think looking at these rascals," police said, writing on social media about the pair's journey.

The horses were found by their owner and officers and taken back home after their adventure.

Butter wouldn’t melt…. That’s what you might think looking at these rascals 😄
Spice (Grey), who is 29 & should know better, took Effie on a sightseeing tour yesterday after escaping their paddock 🤦🏼‍♂️
