One person commented that perhaps this was the horse's last trip before circuit breaker – Singapore's version of a movement control order – was enforced.

Turns out, the 11-year-old animal whose name is Cocorita wasn't horsing around and was simply trying to find her way home after having escaped a nearby paddock
Paddock owner Ronnie Lim told The Straits Times that a horse handler was about to close the door when a loud screech from vehicles nearby caused the horse to be frightened and run out.
Cocorita was found grazing on a patch of grass within 20 minutes of her escape.
"She probably got distracted and had a bite. She was calm and we put a collar on her and walked her back to the stables," Lim told the news daily, who added that vets have since confirmed that the mare is healthy and stable.
