Terrified horse hits moving car during funeral procession
SHOCKING footage has emerged of a terrified horse crashing head first into a moving car, after its handler lost control during a funeral procession.
An animal rescue charity is now calling for a Garda-led Animal Welfare Crime Unit to investigate and act.
The dramatic footage shows a number of people driving carts and sulkies with horses attached and several more riding horses on the main R833 near Liffey Valley Shopping Centre on the Fonthill Road in Clondalkin, Dublin, alongside a horse and carriage hearse.
SPEED
Two other people on horses are seen galloping along the green verge of the road as a number of vehicles including a bus pass in the opposite lane.
One of the horses and carts then passes out of the hearse as the horse canters at speed along the road - and a person on the cart is heard shouting “No, no’ and uses their hand to try and direct traffic out of the way.
