Runaway horse caught by speed camera on busy highway

A runaway horse (called Trigger, maybe?) was caught on a speed trap camera in Mappen, Germany.

Police believe the camera was actually triggered by a car and the horse was just caught in the snap. But the driver of the car is refusing to pay a fine... and who can blame them? I wouldn't want to be saddled with someone else's fine.

'Trigger' was eventually caught and led back to the stables on a nearby farm.
