There was no foaling around for a horse on the loose on a busy city road after rescuers managed to get it to safety on a bus.

The animal was wandering on the A48 in Cardiff on Thursday evening, causing some motorists to pull over to help.

One woman who stopped traffic and calmed the horse said it was “shaken up”.

It was then put on a Cardiff Bus and taken to safety.

In a post on Facebook, Harley Paige said she and a friend had been driving home when they spotted the horse near the central reservation of the road.

She said it was “soggy and shaken up” and they managed to stop traffic and calm the animal with the help of some “lovely” passers-by.

Then, after a bus driver suggested taking the animal on board his vehicle, it was driven to the bus depot.

She said it then went on its “merry way”.

South Wales Police tweeted to say the road had been closed while the horse was helped.

“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,” the force said.

Cardiff Bus tweeted to say: “Thankfully the bus is back in its stable, but awaiting a clean.”
