A commercial for the City of Tuscaloosa featuring Ginuwine, the little horse with a big attitude and an even bigger reputation, was officially released on Thursday, much to the excitement of his scores of fans.

The commercial serves as a launch for a new advertising campaign for Tuscaloosa 311, with a focus in this particular commercial placed on being able to quickly contact animal control — not that Ginuwine poses any kind of threat to anyone ... anymore.

As Patch previously reported, Tuscaloosa Police officers responded in late March to the call of a runaway pony in the area of 30th Avenue East and First Street East in Alberta.

Dubbed "Ginuwine" by the responding officers, the small horse reportedly led three TPD officers on a "low-speed foot pursuit."

This saw the officers left with no choice but to follow the pony up and down driveways and through backyards for nearly two hours before finally subduing him.

As it would turn out, the pony's given name was Knight and he is approximately four years old.

Therapeutic Riding of Tuscaloosa (TROT) has cared for the horse ever since at its farm in Cottondale and has since developed Ginuwine as the nonprofit's official mascot.

At the farm, TROT offers riding lessons as therapy for children and adults with disabilities.
