We woke up to some surprising news today: That police had caught a Unicorn after a long chase involving a helicopter. Upon reading the news articles, we instantly recognized the Unicorn horn as one that we had made and sold last year. But for a bizarre moment, when first hearing about a “wild unicorn” in California, even we — who have been creating Unicorn sightings since 2005 — believed for a moment that it might have been real.
The “wild” Unicorn was in fact the product of Wishpony.com’s very own Natural-Look Unicorn Horn™ and its owner one of our photographer customers.
But even police — who have probably seen everything in the course of their work — suspected that the Unicorn sighting was a result of hallucinogenic drugs. “Initially he thought it might be somebody out there on drugs, seeing things. It was a little unreal to hear calls of a unicorn running around on the roadway.”

We are happy and relieved to hear that no horses or people were injured thanks to the owner’s choice of our soft child-safe Unicorn horn for use in her photography business. We were also pleased to find that our “Detachable Loops” had no problems staying on the pony throughout the 4-hour chase in and out of traffic.
