Police officers in Alaska’s biggest city became wranglers after rounding up a couple of miniature horses that escaped from their corral.

A photo tweeted from the Anchorage police department showed three officers with the two horses they apprehended. The tweet read: “Some interesting runaways patrol came across this morning!”

The two little horses, one black and one tan, were found grazing in the median of a busy East Anchorage street. A police spokeswoman said officers were “able to take these horses into custody” and the pair were reunited with their owners.
