Video released by the Pasco County Sheriff's Office shows a deputy pleading with the horse to stop as it gallops down the road next to his vehicle around 8 a.m. on Wednesday.
The deputies were able to direct the horse away from US 19, a major road in the city, and into a residential area.
Eventually, the deputies were able to stop the horse, who was later returned to its owners uninjured.
