The Bylaw Enforcement Officer for the Rural Municipality of Hanover is trying to locate the owner of a horse that was running loose earlier today.

Brian Brunelle says the horse was located Wednesday morning, approximately six miles south of Steinbach. It was found off Highway 12, along Road 29 North.

Brunelle says the horse is safe. He is now looking to reunite it with its owner.

He says the female horse is approximately three or four years of age and brown in colour. He says she is very well behaved and has obviously been taken care of. Brunelle says the horse was very cooperative while being corralled. There are no visible injuries.

Anyone with information on the owner is asked to contact Steinbach RCMP at 204-326-1234 or Brian Brunelle at 204-326-8656.
