Maine highway horse escapes at 3 a.m., forcing state troopers into a midnight rodeo near Burnham—how do police catch loose horses and what happens next? With the equine galloping past mile marker 145 on I-95, troopers channeled their inner wranglers to lasso and secure the fugitive to a patrol bumper. “Although frightened, the horse was not injured,” police confirmed.

Troopers, trading donuts for lassos in the breakdown lane, corralled the runaway just south of mile marker 143. Animal control and a startled owner from Snake Root Road arrived as trending searches ask: can horses get lost? What’s the strangest animal police have wrangled on highways? The surreal sight: a horse, hitched stoically to a patrol car, contemplating its brief taste of interstate freedom.

The horse’s unsanctioned 3 a.m. sprint ended with a police lasso, a tow to safety, and a return trip home—no injuries, just a traffic report starring a startled equine.
