You know you’ve been in DC too long when you know for a fact that this has happened before:
Northwest Washington residents capture runaway horse
“A runaway horse, without saddle, bridle or rider, galloped through the streets of upper Northwest Washington on Sunday evening, provoking concern and astonishment, and many calls to the police.”
My parents love to tell the following story from when I was a tiny kid, and we lived on Yuma Street in Northwest D.C.:
A Park Police horse got loose and went galloping up the street past our house. It was followed closely by a cop on a motorcycle. Apparently I was so taken by this that I pulled a little chair up to the window so I could watch for it to happen again.
Let it be known that I was not wrong! I just didn’t wait long enough.

I must find out everything there is to know about this! And many a time I have been responsible for horses running through Central Park and Rock Creek Parks without a rider
