Sarah Moulds was seen on video hitting and kicking the horse, named Bruce Almighty.
A former primary school teacher caused a horse to suffer by “landing several blows” to its face after it misbehaved, a court has been told.
“The female is seen grabbing the lead rope, kicking the horse and is seen landing blows to the horse’s face several times.“She said she had left two ponies with two children on the grass and that the pony had run into the road with children holding the rope.“She caught him, she said, and she immediately chastised him.While Bruce did not suffer any external injuries, Mould’s punishment was “unnecessary and counter-productive” and “over the top”, Ms Stevens said.
Moulds then took hold of his lead rope and kicked him in the chest before striking Bruce at least four times across the face and returning him to the horse box. “The actions she gave to Bruce were not proportionate, not appropriate and not in response to anything.
