A runaway racehorse ends up in French bar…
A loose racehorse scattered customers when she charged through a French bar last month. The filly, who was uninjured in the drama, was caught on the café’s CCTV as she sent diners fleeing. The horse’s trainer, Jean-Marie Béguigné, told Ouest France newspaper that the mare’s rider had fallen off en route to the gallops less than a mile from the Le Chantilly bar. The mare then made the short trip to the bar, entering through an open door and cantering through the chairs and tables, before turning around and exiting the same way she came in. The filly could also be seen trying to kick away her saddle, which had slipped back. she was later caught in the car park.
