Authorities said the suspect was driving with a suspended license and violating probation when he fled from deputies.
He started walking through a pasture to get away from authorities but picked the wrong one to try and pass through.
A video shows the three horses chase the suspect down and force him to jump a fence.
Wrong pasture...

The horses’ owner Brenda Heartz said she thinks the horses knew something was wrong.
She said they're friendly horses and would not have chased after just anyone.
