But finding their owners was the next task. With no one in sight, and no identification markings or sign of where they might have come from, they had to go online.
Oxley police soon put out a public appeal on Facebook to track the owners, and the online call for answers soon tracked them down.
"After some horsing around and perhaps a late night dash for a soft serve, our equine friends are back with their family," Oxley police posted online.
"Thanks to the public for assisting."
No horses or police were harmed in the night time adventure.
