“He was just being a boy,” Sergeant Nancy Smith of the mounted unit told Muskegon Chronicle. Smith described the horse as “a bay and white paint/pinto stock-type stallion, 14.3 hands tall and about 5 years old…wearing a red halter.” She also said the horse is in good condition. He had burrs in his tail and mane and chipped hooves, but those were likely due to the surfaces he’d been traveling on. Smith added that “We don’t know where it came from. We don’t know how long it’s been running.”

The horse is currently being looked after by the mounted unit. Anyone with information about the horse’s owner should contact the Muskegon County Sheriff’s Office at (231) 724-6351 or Silent Observer at (231) 72-CRIME (27463).
