In Russia, horse school students abused a mare and filmed it.

At the horse school in Nizhny Novgorod (Russia), three students abused a mare and recorded everything on video. Because of this situation, the girls were suspended from classes, and the school referred the matter to the Prosecutor's Office of Russia.

According to Russian media, the girls came to the stable where the mare was kept and began to teach her new tricks. They crossed boundaries allowed in the facility and tried to sit on the animal. As the mare did not obey them, they started to beat her using their hands, feet, and a whip.

The girls managed to post the video online themselves. As soon as this became known, they were suspended, and the school's administration reported the incident to law enforcement in the region. The minister of sports of the Nizhny Novgorod region also visited the school for inspection. The animal was observed to have abrasions and scratches on its chest.

The Prosecutor's Office and the police of the region have initiated an investigation into the incident.
