I guess they thought they needed a little adventure! Glad the owners were able to get them and get them back home!

Tacoma is about 50 miles from my house. Its very busy and crammed with people. That's great that nobody was hurt in that excitement.

It can really damage a car - and the horse - if the two were to collide.

You are right since I have seen on social media collision between animals and autos. It is sobering..

The owner did well to capture them again in the dark, as it appears it is nighttime there in the photo. It was good that nobody, and the horses too, were not hurt in this incident.

It was dark in Tacoma when the owners of the horses were able to corral them safely.
