Spooked horse shatters coffee shop window

Patrons of a Minnesota coffee shop were surprised when a large horse’s rear end came bursting through the shop’s plate-glass window. “Black Jack,” a 15-year-old, 1,150-pound police horse, was apparently spooked by a cement mixer, causing him to whirl around. His hindquarters shattered the coffee shop’s window, showering glass over the customers. Both the customers and Black Jack were a little shaken up. “He’s on stall rest for a week, but he’ll be just fine,” said a police spokesman.
