As many countries continue with lockdowns and closures amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a white horse with free reign over a town has become a beloved local legend and international celebrity.
Germany has closed its schools, playgrounds and many businesses to attempt to flatten the curve of COVID-19. That's common to many parts of the world. What's not common is how Frankfurt, Germany has a white Arabian mare that's allowed to freely roam the streets.

For more than a decade, Jenny has meandered through her local Fechenheim area, a district of Frankfurt on the bank of the Main river. Every morning she leaves her stable and trolls through the town, bringing streetcars to a stop and bringing smiles to the locals' faces.

"Everyone else has to live with coronavirus restrictions but Jenny is as free as ever," her owner Anna Weischedel, 65, told AFP.

According to her owner, Jenny, 25, has always been a favourite in the town but her popularity has increased as of late.
"People seem to notice her more because they have more time. A lot of passers-by stroke her, maybe because they are missing some human contact," said Anna.

In case people are confused by the majestic white horse casually walking through the town, Jenny wears a note around her neck that reads: "I haven't run away, I'm just out for a walk."
Jenny's walk around the town usually ends around 4:00 p.m. when Anna's husband, Werner, hops on his e-scooter to track her down along her usual route.
