Sandy Parker, who lives at Ravenscroft, said: “I was outside at about 2am with my dog because it was bursting to go out when I heard something, but I didn’t take too much notice. The dog wouldn’t come back and I thought it must be a fox out there. Then my neighbour said: ‘There’s a horse out here.’

The mystery was finally solved at around lunchtime when the horse’s grateful owner arrived to collect the errant equine.
