       Edgar MacDougal was just opening his corner shop when he heard 
   the stampede. Now, technically, stampedes are not a usual occurance 
   in Washington D.C., seeing as how the closest place you'll find a cow 
   is the local McDonalds (and if you look carefully, it's probably 
   where you'll find the closest horse, too.) 

I'll have you know that a friend of mine arranged for a horse for a
Indian (Asian) wedding in downtown DC in the McPherson Sq. area (it's
traditional, either a horse, camel, or elephant depending on the
area).  The bride and groom looked smashing on it....

Aren't there police and maybe some tourist carriage type horses in DC
as well?  But point taken; the horse lived in suburban Maryland.
