A Trail RCMP officer got a surprise greeting during an investigation near the Patterson Border Crossing.
A horse who had escaped from its property stuck his head through the open window of the RCMP Cruiser while awaiting the arrival of its owner.
It was one of two horses doing some mid-morning grazing in the ditch along Highway 22-A near Rossland.
The officer spoke with local residents to find out who they belonged to and contacted the owner, who accompanied the officer in escorting the two wayward steeds back home.
Detachment Commander Mike Wicentowich credits the officer for using his “horse sense” to “reign in this matter to a close.”
