Early Tuesday morning, CHP Officers Simmons and Stewart encountered an unusual traffic situation on State Route 165 in Central Valley. Three horses—two brown and one palomino—were spotted trotting along the highway, oblivious to traffic regulations, the CHP quipped.

The officers successfully guided the horses off the road, ensuring their safety and that of motorists. The palomino stood out with a distinctive brand on its front leg, showcasing its timeless style.

The incident ended without harm, but serves as a reminder to drivers to stay alert for unexpected road hazards. Kudos to the officers for their adept handling of this impromptu equine encounter, the office stated.
