How do you explain to your insurance adjuster that the dent in the side of your car was caused by a kicking horse? That?s what several car owners are dealing with, including UW-Madison assistant men?s hockey coach Gary Shuchuk, after two University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department horses got loose, kicked and jumped over vehicles at the Kohl Center before being corraled while heading out to West Dayton Street.
The horses were tied up behind the Kohl Center on Tuesday afternoon at about 2:45 p.m., munching on hay while their police officer mounts took a break. The detail was part of the security force in place for President Obama?s visit to Madison and the UW-Madison campus.
