A shocked motorist who pulled over to take pictures on his phone, said: "There were about 10 or 12 of them on the dual carriageway by Asda.

"It looked like they'd maybe been running up and down for a while as there was horse mess all over the road."

West Yorkshire Police have been contacted for comment.
