“The Most Magical Place on Earth” finally reopened after being closed for nearly four months, but guests recieved a bit of a scare on opening day after a horse was startled during a parade down Main Street USA.

The incident happened during The Royal Princess Processional at Magic Kingdom when a child’s balloon got caught on the horse’s legs.

The incident was caught on camera by a guest at the Magic Kingdom. Take a look at the video below:

As you can see in the YouTube video, Merida’s horse was spooked by a balloon a child was holding and accidentally let go of, which then got wrapped up in the horse’s legs.

Merida was able to safely get off the horse and it was then walked off of backstage by cast members.
