Horse Escapes Cowboy Center in NYC, Causes Chaos During Rush Hour Before Being Corralled By Cops
Hot-to-trot! A horse made a break for it in NYC in early December, ending up on multiple highways during evening rush hour near JFK Airport before being lassoed by the law, per ABC 7 NY.
According to officials, Sundance galloped away from Curly’s Cowboy Center — located less than a mile from the Queens airport — and traveled along an expressway and up an exit ramp as dumbfounded drivers kept their distance.
Sundance’s unbridled horseplay came to an abrupt end when he was corralled near JFK by cops.
Port Authority Police Lt. Luis Calderon explains, “It came toward me, I put out my hands as if to pet it, and he basically let me hold on to the holder, and the officer then came to the other side and assisted me in just maintaining control of the horse.”
R.W. “Curly” Hall — owner of Cowboy Center — says staffers were feeding horses and cleaning out stalls after an event when Sundance “took off” through a gate that was left ajar. “It was just a mishap,” he shrugs. “That’s all.”
