TRUSSVILLE — Trussville Police Department helped locate a lost pony’s family on Sunday, November 28, around 10:40 p.m.
According to the Trussville Police Department’s Lieutenant Clint Riner, Trussville dispatch received a call from a homeowner on Promenade Drive that a pony was in their front yard eating their grass. The homeowners were shocked to find a small white pony and were hoping the Trussville Police Department could help locate its owners.
Officers arrived and were able to keep the horse company by feeding it carrots that were given to them by the homeowners. The pony seemed to be rather content with getting the attention it deserved from the Trussville police officers.
Officers reached out to a family in the area to see if they were missing a small white pony, but they soon realized that all of their livestock was accounted for. The family mentioned that their neighbor had a small white pony, and sure enough, they located the pony’s family. The pony was returned safely to his home on Alabama Drive around 11:30 p.m.
After a busy holiday weekend, helping a lost pony find its way home was the icing on top of the cake.
