As a lifelong equestrian, let me tell you how special this girl’s horse is, along with her being an unflappable rider. To remain calm on the interstate like that, - that horse is worth their weight in gold.💛 WELL DONE to this horse and rider!!

Your horse trusting you enough to ride loose rein on a highway without going super fast or spooking is incredible already, but with another horse next to it showing such obvious fear, too? That is almost superhuman. You are obviously an amazing rider who communicates perfectly with her horse, and Tink obviously knew what her job was. You have truly rescued an amazing horse.

The horse shes riding is a true hero keeping calm and just wanting to help her friend.

That girl is 100% a HERO!!! She saved that horse. This made me cry. Wow not many adults would do what that girl did. I bet her parents are proud of her. And what a brave horse she was riding. Well done!!!!

That girl and her horse have a special bond, where one instinctively trusts the other; they both deserve a medal.

She knows what she is doing and has a fantastic horse. Solid horsemanship, great communication. Proud of this young lady, this was a far better experience than any training run. I have no doubt she will do well in competition. Good job by the following car as well.

[philliplewis]

for her leadership and poise! Her horse never let her down, he stayed right there carrying his load against a bareback horse. Caroline, young lady you are a treasure and a hero, you never peeked over your shoulder to see what was coming. Your commitment to this horse is exemplary. Thank you, my name means Lover of Horses.

She's going to grow up to be an outstanding young lady!! She has drive, compassion and patience. Great characteristics to have in humanity.❤❤ Merry Christmas to all

This is a heroine whose unconditional love displayed by rescuing Tink is the embodiment of a hero and what compassion humans with good souls do. This young girl made heaven smile❤❤

As an animal lover y’all are awesome for blocking traffic, helping out that calm equestrian and her loose horse. You and that cop are the MVPs. I can’t even imagine how awful this could have been during rush hour traffic. This 16 year old is well on her way to be very success in life. I’m real glad the horse was ultimately corralled/saved, and that nobody got hurt.

The 16yr old rider is fearless and has the determination of an adult. Her horse seems to know exactly what's going on and they are working as a team. That's a true partnership. Never let that horse go.💜

This made my day!!!! This is what people are supposed to be about. Why have so many forgotten. The way Caroline stayed calm and focused as well as her horse Tink, brilliant. This took more than people realize. What an amazing team, horse and rider. The trust there is irreplaceable. This is what confidence and focus can do. So happy all are ok.😊

[carriemclean]

Caroline, you and Tink are heros! Thank you for acting quickly, calmly, and catching this terrified mare. Things would not have ended so well if not for you and your courageous horse. Much love and respect to you both. ❤

[paulineashcroft]

16 years old! You are an amazing young woman with a brilliant horse. You saved the runaway horse from injury, possible death and causing a road accident. The women in the car were outstanding as well. Wow just wow.

I hope life blesses that girl for her brave and kind actions.

That was amazing to see in how girl & horse were able to work together to protect this horse.
An amazing horse Tink is for carrying a rider while keeping up with a scared horse while running on cement. I hope there's no problems from from running on cement for either horse.
That was some amazing teamwork & communication there.
Thanks to the one driver staying behind them quietly until the cops got there too. You were definitely an integral part in helping keep them all safe too.

[dianamay]

Merry Christmas and ALL of you who helped rescue that horse are absolute HEROS!

[joannedorsey]

Go Caroline. Brave thing to do and on a busy roadway. Glad you and the chestnut are safe. Great going and give your horse extra carrots tonight!

[cristinawood]

At the end Tink was like, did you see ME though? I'm not exhausted!!!
Such a special beautiful bond Caroline and Tink have ❤

[JustMe-vkfn]

Excellent effort by everyone involved. I imagine that was a "first time" for the police officer too. Well done.
