DRIVERS were left with long faces and longer queues - as traffic officers moved a horse from a broken-down horse box.
The M4 was closed in both directions between junctions 14 and 15 near Baydon at around 6pm, while Highways England moved the horse to a fresh horse box.
They tweeted: "We'll get you moving shortly."
Traffic has been stopped on #M4 between J14 and J15 in both directions while we safely transfer a horse to a replacement horse box following a puncture. We'll get you moving shortly. @HighwaysSWEST
