Look: Five horses escape from Missouri Renaissance festival
Sept. 26 (UPI) -- A group of Missouri police officers took an unusual journey into the past when five horses escaped from the local Renaissance festival.
The Wentzville Police Department said on social media that the horses absconded from the St. Louis Renaissance Festival in Wentzville early Wednesday morning.
Three officers, including an animal control officer, were nearby and rushed to Rotary Park to wrangle the escaped equines.
"They quickly teamed up to safely guide the horses back to their stable and assisted in repairing the fence to prevent any more escapes," the department said.
