Pony removed by police after outcry over online video

A pony has been removed by police after a video of its being mounted by a man and falling backwards to the ground caused widespread outrage on Facebook.

The footage, posted on social media this weekend, showed the coloured horse, thought to be a youngster, in what appears to be a back garden, in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

The pony can be seen held by the nose while man clambers on to its back, and laughter can be heard in the background.
