Yall some things are just down right funny. In Beaufort, we truly love our horse and carriage tours. We love our horses. We love our donuts too......I guess it is safe to say our horses love donuts..he ran a good 2 miles from his downtown post:)

(article from our very own...Beaufort Gazette..)

" ........According to Maj. Matt Clancy, deputy chief of police for Beaufort, the tour carriage and horse belong to local company, Southurn Rose Buggy Tours. The carriage operator was unhitching the horse and undid one side when something spooked it, Clancy said. The horse took off and went up Boundary Street, turned on to Ribaut Road Extension and went through Ramada Limited on Boundary.

In the parking lot, the runaway carriage made contact with a sheriff's office car, which freed the horse of its carriage. Clancy said the horse then ran behind the Donut Connection, where police officers and Southurn Rose employees were able to catch it.

He said there were no injuries or damage.."

Ah yes, life in the true south. This should have been an easy catch for the cops....after all, they were probably already at the donut shop!

That would have made headline news in my small town. Of course I'm not sure if we have any donut shops.
