Mystery horses spotted taking a stroll in Ipoh city center

The animals have come out to play again!

A couple of months after Chickaboo the Ostrich dominated the headlines after it was spotted sprinting down a highway, a video showing four horses taking a leisurely stroll in the Ipoh city center has gone viral online.

According to a report by The Star Online, the horses were spotted galloping along the usually busy Jalan Raja Dihilir on Wednesday afternoon.

Several witnesses told the news portal that the horses, at one point, were seen crossing the road under a flyover near Hospital Pantai Puteri.

The four horses reportedly brought traffic to a crawl as stunned motorists slowed down to take pictures and videos of the stallions.

Not long after, photos and videos of the horses started flooding social media:

Meanwhile, The Star Online quoted a source as saying that the horses actually belonged to a private owner in Tambun.

The stable workers, according to the source, had managed to get the horses back into their stables.

“I have no idea how the animals managed to escape and galloped all the way to as far as Greentown area.

“Many people were seen taking photos and videos, and I am amazed that the horses managed to cross several roads as well,” the source was quoted as saying.
