ELGIN, IL — Two ponies got a taste of freedom when they were spotted roaming a suburban residential neighborhood in Elgin on Tuesday morning, police said.
The ponies were on the loose in the area of Chippewa Drive and Congdon Avenue, the Elgin Police Department posted on social media around 5 a.m., including several images of the animals standing and trotting around the neighborhood.
The duo's adventure appeared to be short-lived, as the owner was found and the animals were back home as of about 8 a.m., according to police.
