But the woman reported to police that she believed someone had fallen off and was hurt.Police found the horse, named Oreo, grazing on grass in front of a home. Officer Nicholas Moreno, who grew up with horses and is a skilled horseback rider, calmly approached and mounted the horse, Fekety said.
Video showed Moreno riding Oreo back to its owner, who was found at the Mariposa Bridge near Valley Heart Drive, police said. According to Fekety, Oreo became “spooked” during a ride with its owner and ran away. But the two were happily reunited, he said.
