Traffic was stopped on a main road after two horses got free from their paddock.
Motorists were amazed as they watched the white and black animals trotting down the A2070 in Ashford.
Reports were soon flooding social media after the equine escapees made their way towards the Orbital Park, and police were quickly made aware.
Thankfully, officers were able to recover the two terrified horses and take them to safety.
A spokesman said on twitter: "Officers were able to catch and bring these horses to a place of safety this morning.
"Obviously they didn't understand the #StayHome advice!"
This is the third time in a few months that motorists have had a night-mare on the roads thanks to horses.
In October, three horses were spotted running loose in Marsh Street, Dartford.
Police managed to secure one of the ponies but the other two evaded arrest.
Just one day later, a road closure was put in place after horses ran loose onto the Dartford Crossing approach.
Escaped animals, unusual finds and news from the RSPCA can all be found here.
