A brown horse was spotted on the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) on Saturday (Jul. 8).

A video of the creature was captured on camera. It was uploaded onto the Complaint Singapore Facebook group by user Raven Qiu.

A similar video has been uploaded onto SG Road Vigilante's Facebook page, where the video has garnered over 100 shares in five hours.

The video showed the confused-looking horse trotting along the busy expressway as cars drove past it.

The saddle fastened to the horse suggested that it wasn't a wild horse.

The horse then stopped in the middle of the road and turned around to face the car behind it, before walking along the side of the road against the flow of traffic.

Another video showed the horse being escorted by a Land Transport Authority (LTA) officer towards Turf Club Avenue.

Although the caption of the video suggested that the horse had escaped from Singapore Turf Club, Mothership understands that the horse belonged to Bukit Timah Saddle Club instead.

"We are aware a horse belonging to Bukit Timah Saddle Club found its way outside of its stable and onto the roads briefly. It has since been safely returned to its stable," A Singapore Turf Club spokesperson said.

Mothership has reached out to Bukit Timah Saddle Club and LTA for more information.

This incident taught me 3 things. 

 

1) The horse is sadden by the news that Singapore Turf Club will closed. 

2) The horse knows its way to BKE, the fastest way to causeway. 🤣

3) LTA officer can also double up as horse caregiver. They can catch 300bhp cars, and can tame 1 bhp horse. kudos!

Think not the first time horse from Turf Club get onto the BKE. Anyway, when i see this horse, really feel sad that Turf Club will be closed completely and no more horse racing.

[Kopites]

This horse really a real deal. 

Not the other type of horse. 😁

Actually cyclists can replace the horse racing. On a smaller scale that dont require so much land. 

Punters wouldnt be so sad, they will have some cyclist to bet on. Horse groomers can switch to training cyclists. Cyclists wont be a road menace and can race all they like. 50 or a 100 of them race thru mud, water, mock up traffic lights and pedestrians to the finish line. It is a win-win.

Good idea you have. We got so many cyclists here insist on cycling in large groups on the road. Give them an avenue and a useful function

They need to send an officer who is familiar with horse. Otherwise, it will make things worse.

Ok, who knows how to ride a horse ? Ok, you got the job. 😄
