Police managed to coax the pony into a courtyard with apples before officers from the RSPCA were summoned to the hospital in Apley.
Eyewitness Lorna Rutter, of Little Dawley, Telford, said: "I was entering the hospital via the day unit entrance and was going for an X-ray with my husband and there was this horse on the grass by the car park.
"A security guard and another man were in pursuit of the horse and they looked like they had got it under control.
"Everyone was watching."
