Pony Dressed as Unicorn Makes a Dash from Photoshoot, and Who Could Blame Her?
In a whimsical turn of events, a pony dressed as a unicorn led California Highway Patrol on a four-hour chase through a local town, leaving residents both amused and bewildered. Initially, officials thought a drug-fueled hallucination might be at play when they received reports of a “unicorn” galloping through the streets. However, it turns out the culprit was none other than an adorable snow-white Shetland pony named Bella.
Bella had escaped from her owner during a photoshoot, where she was decked out in a cute prosthetic horn and a pastel pink bridle. What was meant to be an enchanting day of capturing magical moments for kids turned into a grand adventure for Bella. Sandra Mills, the pony’s owner and a photographer from Fresno, acquired Bella for her daughter, Emily, a year prior. Given that kids adore unicorns, Bella often plays the starring role in the whimsical photos.
However, on this fateful Wednesday, Bella seemed less than enthusiastic about her modeling duties. Instead of posing for the camera, she opted for a five-mile excursion through the local orchards, leaving her artistic team scrambling to keep up. “I think she felt like, ‘Not today, folks!’” Sandra mused as they searched for the stealthy pony.
As Bella evaded capture, her best friend Emily was understandably distraught. “I was worried and we had to look for her in the dark,” the young girl confessed. Thanks to the combined efforts of the community, concerned family members, and the determined state troopers, Bella’s escapade eventually came to an end. Spectators even stopped traffic to assist, while law enforcement utilized helicopters and infrared technology to locate the elusive pony.
In a twist of fate, it was Bella’s equine buddy, “Shadow,” who played a crucial role in reuniting her with her family. Shadow’s owner, Lisa Green, collaborated with local residents to guide Bella into a fenced area, making it easy for Sandra and Emily to retrieve her.
Fortunately, no one was harmed during Bella’s wild adventure, and the authorities opted for a warning instead of a citation, reminding the family to keep an eye on their 600-pound escape artist. Despite the happy ending, Bella wasn’t entirely off the hook. “She got a time out because she was being a naughty pony,” Emily said with a laugh.
