Horse Gets Loose, Runs Through Medford Neighborhood: VIDEO

MEDFORD, NY — A horse got loose in Medford and video showed the animal galloping through a residential neighborhood. Eric Allbright, of Medford, told Patch on Wednesday he was taking out the trash when he saw the horse running around his neighbors' lawns and through the street.

Video showed the horse near Maple Street and Jamaica Avenue around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday.

"My dad was taking out the trash and as I was getting ready to take mine out," Allbright wrote in a Twitter message. "He yelled to me to come downstairs and the horse was just on my neighbors lawn eating their grass."

Allbright said he was shocked.

"I've seen a horse before but seeing one on your street throws you off," he wrote.

The horse was running free in the neighborhood for about 20 minutes before its owner arrived and escorted the animal home on foot.
