Horse breaks free, races toward stands at horse show

DEVON (AP) — A horse has broken free at a Pennsylvania horse show, sending people running for cover as it galloped toward the stables.

WPVI-TV reports the horse got loose and jumped over a fence at the Devon Horse Show Tuesday night. Cellphone video shows the horse making a run for it as onlookers scream in the stands.

The horse was caught in the stable area. It suffered minor scrapes.

Officials say the rider was able to dismount from the carriage before the horse ran away. The rider was uninjured.

The horse show is expected to continue through the week as planned.
