A spokesman for the RSPCA said: “This video concerns us. It shows a complete disregard for the welfare of the horse as an accident could so easily happen - not only to the horse, but also could be a danger to other road users. We strongly urge people not to do this as it is extremely dangerous and irresponsible.

“We urge anyone with information about the incident to contact us on 0300 1234 999.”
