A horse travelled on the bus after it was found loose on a busy road

A loose horse was taken on a bus ride after it was found on a main road.

It made a five-minute journey with its rescuer after it was found on the A48 Eastern Avenue - one of Cardiff's busiest roads.

Posting about the horse on Twitter, South Wales Police said: "A loose horse on the 'mane' A48 Eastern Ave decided it wanted to 'stirrup' a little trouble but in doing so it risked falling 'foal' of the law."

Tony Bishop, operations manager at Cardiff Bus, said: "Cardiff Bus worked in partnership with South Wales Police to ensure the safety of the horse and other road users.

"Due to the A48 being such a busy road, the decision was made to transport the horse to a safe location and wait for the owner to come to collect it.

"The horse was accompanied on the five-minute journey to the Heath Park and Ride by the lady who helped to rescue him and was shortly after reunited with its owner.

"It was an eventful night for all involved and thankfully had a very happy ending!"
