A loose horse was safely contained and removed from a Sebastopol roadway early Wednesday morning during a major winter storm impacting Sonoma County, authorities said.
Sebastopol police received a call shortly after 4 a.m. reporting a horse in or near the roadway in the area of Bodega Avenue and Pleasant Hill Road, according to Sgt. Cameron Fenske said.
An officer arrived on scene at around 4:15 a.m. and located the horse, Fenske said. The officer was able to contain the animal and keep it from wandering further until animal control arrived.
North Bay Animal Services were contacted at about 4:20 a.m. and arrived with a trailer around 6 a.m. to take custody of the horse, Fenske said.
Officer Josiah Wotillo assisted with containing the animal until it was safely removed from the area.
Heavy rain and strong winds battered the North Bay on Tuesday as forecasters warned of hazardous travel, flooding and damaging gusts through Thursday.
The horse’s owner later contacted police and was directed to North Bay Animal Services, Fenske said. No other reports of loose or escaped animals were received by Sebastopol police during that time.
