Nine of the ten escaped horses have now been safely recovered by Iredell County Animal Services. 🐴💛
Officials are still searching for the final horse and ask the community not to approach or attempt to capture it, as sudden contact could put both the animal and drivers at risk.

If you spot the remaining horse, please report the location immediately to Animal Services or local law enforcement.
