"That is a horse. That is two horses. Only in rural New Jersey. That is so crazy," Patatie says in the video.

Readington Police Chief Steve Rindock said the horses escaped from a property on River Avenue and were brought back home at 2:24 a.m.

"It took a little over an hour to get them corralled but they did make it home," said Rindock to Patch.

Raritan Police Lt. Scott Nelson said Township Officers also came to help and can be seen in the video on the highway with the horses.
