A spokesperson has told Tipp FM News “several offences” under the Animal Health and Welfare Act were detected and that those involved were also posing a danger to themselves and other motorists.

The horse was brought to a halt on the N24 bypass where it was then seized and taken into the care of a horse pound where it has been examined by a vet.

A court appearance will now follow.
