Animal Control Officer Jim Bebarski and other law enforcement officers, friends, and neighbors helped round up horses Willow and Harley after they escaped on March 5. Despite being afraid of water, the horses made their way from Ash Point Road to Stover’s Point, where they were lured back with carrots. The Douglas family is grateful for everyone’s help in safely returning the horses home.
