The one-horse town of Hickman is now a no-horse town.
An elderly horse that drew worldwide attention for his owner's refusal to comply with an ordinance barring livestock inside city limits has been moved to a new pasture.
The 32-year-old Morgan-quarter horse crossbreed named Peter Rabbit was taken in Thursday by Anderson Equine Services of Firth, Neb. His new home is about four miles south of the pasture where he had roamed since his birth in the spring of 1976.
Peter Rabbit's owner, 77-year-old Harley Scott, has kept the horse on land within the Hickman city limits. A city ordinance prohibits livestock in town, but Scott continued to keep the horse there amid controversy that has received national attention.
The move allows the horse's owner, Harley Scott, to avoid a Monday hearing in Lancaster County Court.
The Hickman city attorney filed a misdemeanor charge against Scott for harboring the horse in town.

Horses are amazing and I am sorry that this "small" town was unwilling to open their hearts enough to let this man and his companion be together into the sunset.

Alan did you get your so called facts from the Mayor or what? Sounds really twisted. You aren't even close to correct.

Oh My God! Why does it matter? This is so stupid! Why can't the Council pick on something else that is a BIGGER deal than a HORSE???? Seriously, people!! Worry about something bigger in life than something smaller! Hickman is a SMALL town! Good Lord! I agree, don't they have things better to do?! Like for example, worry more about the safety in town and/or the roads that are not safe! Needs to be paved and not have gravel rocks on roads....I mean, seriously....this is pathetic!
