Horse, goat escapees make a break for it in Mad Valley

Horse back in his home. Wily goat accomplice not pictured

Here's something you don't see every day in the Central District: 911 operators received a report of a gray horse walking up 32nd street in Madison Valley.

We raced over there, expecting the neighborhood news photo of a lifetime, and found that the horse was safe and sound in his barn.

A city employee working on a construction project told us that they saw the horse and his goat pal out on a stroll, and they escorted them back to their yard. Evidently the goat is wily, and has found a way to open the lock on the fence. They caught him trying it again a bit later.
