IMAGINE waking up to find a horse on your roof.
It happened to one family on Tuesday. Pat and Stephen Downey, who raise racing horses in New Brunswick, Canada, woke to the sight of a colt standing on the roof of their garage.
Stephen’s brother, Archie, had spotted the horse chilling on the roof and taken a photo before hauling it down.
“We saw the picture,” Pat told CTV News. “He called us as soon as he got him off because he didn’t have any trouble. Well, it took him a while, but he didn’t have any trouble getting him off.”
The couple thought the photo was a joke.
“It looked like Archie had done a joke on Stephen and Photoshopped the horse on the roof because that just doesn’t happen,” Pat said. “You would never get a horse to do something like that.”
It wasn’t a hoax. Stephen told CTV News he suspected the horse was bored, because he isn’t usually left alone.
“He’s like a two or three-year-old kid and he was just looking for some excitement and he got in trouble like a regular kid would do,” Stephen said.
The horse was checked for injuries when it returned to the ground, but everything seemed to be in order.
Even so, the Downeys have built a fence on the roof to stop their horses from climbing up there again.
