Horses Run Wild in City Streets

Horses that had escaped the OK Corral in Otay Mesa and were running down the streets of Chula Vista, were finally safely herded into the Olympic Training Center by a cowboy, police and a helicopter.

The horses were spotted by a news helicopter running down Olympic Parkway around 5:00 p.m., with a cowboy, lasso in hand, riding behind them, trying to catch up.

Chula Vista police spokesman Bernard Gonzales said that apparently some wild horses, that may have come from Mexico had led the other horses to escape from a ranch. "They had come down from the hills just above Chula Vista and they had intermingled with some other horses. I guess that the leader of that pack of wild horses induced the other horses to run free. In their natural state, a horse will follow the dominant horse. They were all following the lead horse," said Gonzales.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I can't stop laughing at that. Okay horses don't travel in packs. They travel in herds. 'Kay? Second, I have this awesome visual of a horse trying to convince the other horses to run away.

Leader: Hey, guys, what's up?

Horses: Nothin'.

Leader: What are you doing trapped in there? Come on, let's go terrorize the humans!

Point: Horses travel in herds. Don't ever use the word 'induce' to describe how ranch horses followed wild horses. It makes it sound like the wild horses somehow talked the ranch horses into it.
