The Pennington County Sheriffs Office reports an equine emergency has been solved at Sheridan Lake.

This week, a miniature horse was found roaming along Highway 16 by a group of road trippers.

After a sheriffs’ deputy arrived on scene, more people started feeding the animal. Authorities put out a call to the public hoping to find the horse’s home.

Fortunately, a passerby knew the owners, and after animal control secured a trailer, the horse was returned home safely.
