The horses evaded responding CHP units for approximately 20 minutes on city streets before making their way onto Interstate 680.
The northbound lanes were shut down while a collaborative effort between the CHP, Walnut Creek Police and Contra Costa County Animal Control rounded up the horses.
Once safely corralled, the horses were returned to their owner uninjured.
