Clip-clopping onto a train station platform, a curious horse has turned heads and puzzled commuters in southwest Sydney.

The horse trotted onto the platform at Warwick Farm station in an attempt to escape the wild and wet weather just before midnight on Friday.

It was sighted entering the railway station from the car park and shortly after police made contact with Transport NSW to advise a horse was on the platform.

The horsing around lasted about five minutes as the animal paced the platform before being captured and led onto a float.

"The equine was safely reined in and is in a 'stable' condition," a Transport NSW spokesperson said in a statement.

"Passengers are reminded they shouldn’t horse around on train platforms and should stay behind the yellow line."
