Now, we aren’t usually ones to stirrup trouble, but when a bunch of horses end up running in the fast lane of the N2 high-neigh, it’s not a hurdle we can just jump over. On Wednesday, the galloping geldings were seen occupying the major commuter route near Durban, after inexplicably finding their way into the middle of the road.
Astonishing footage from the scene shows several vehicles having to negotiate the equestrian pedestrians, after they caused something of a traffic ‘mare earlier this morning. Ignoring the music blaring out of the stereo system, these horses observed the speed limit impeccably – but their lane discipline was all over the place.
The stallions and fillies didn’t pay much attention to the merging signs, and most were grouped together in one large cluster. A solitary straggler at the back alerts road users to more trouble up ahead, as vehicles were left with little room for maneuver. The video of the incident has since been shared hundreds of times on social media…
