In a tweet, OPP said a local vet was called to check the horses and a local resident took the animals to a nearby farm until the owner could pick them up.
“This is (a) great example of the community stepping up to help,” OPP said in a tweet Sunday.
OPP continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
