Drivers were left outraged after spotting a horse and a pony strapped to the back of a trailer on a Melbourne Freeway on Anzac Day.

Michelle Pimpani was driving on the Citylink Freeway when she spotted the animals standing on the trailer attached to a ute.

The shocked driver shared an image of the horses on Facebook, claiming she had seen them trying to move their legs.

However, the driver eventually discovered the horses weren't real.

The statues were being transported for an ANZAC ceremony.

'Honestly, I think everyone was freaking out,' Ms Pimpani told 7NEWS.

'They were strapped in so tight and the bigger one had ropes tied to its legs.'

She said other drivers were beeping their horns at the ute, which continued to drive on the 80km/h road.

A Victoria Police spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia: 'Police received reports after a driver was seen with two unsecured horses on the back of a trailer this morning in North Melbourne.'

'Investigators have been told the utility was seen travelling towing the trailer and horses on Citylink just after 8.30am.'

'Fawkner Highway Patrol officers made a number of enquiries and determined that the horses are not real horses and were being transported for an ANZAC ceremony,' the spokesperson said.
