In case you missed it

A police horse bolted at the sound of screeching brakes and ran free earlier this month on a street in lower Manhattan. This after throwing his rider, a veteran police officer. Fortunately, the horse, Aldo, found his way back to the stable and the officer suffered no serious injuries.
