Talk to longtime residents for any length of time and memories often drift back to a time when itwasn't uncommon to see people with horses walking, along the Katella Avenue corridor.
Today, it wasn't a memory.
A driver towing two horses to the nearby racetrack had to make an emergency stop because a disturbance between the animals in the trailer made it unsafe to continue driving. An officer and Sergeant from day watch patrol and a Sergeant from a neighboring agency responded to make sure the scene was safe for the driver, animals and the passing motorists. Chief Nuñez captured the picture and video of the participants calming the upset horse who had to be removed from the trailer.
No one was hurt and the animals eventually made their way back along Katella Avenue. We're sure a few commuters must have questioned what they saw as they passed. Have a safe weekend!
