Police said the horse became agitated while it was being transported and managed to dislodge the enclosure in the horsebox which restricts movement and supports the animal in transit.
Back at Ballymany on that fateful night, the stallion with a distinctive white blaze on his face and four white "socks" was loaded into a horsebox never to be seen again.
Every suggestion box is really a Trojan horse, and whichever group is most recently offended can shut down the country, since the other unoffended groups want to preserve their right to shut it down, too.
