Horse intentionally injured at Carousel Park

Earlier this week, park workers at Carousel Park & Equestrian Center: Home of the Mounted Patrol found Cierra, one of the park's lesson ponies, in the field unable to walk. When staff members conducted a thorough examination, they discovered that someone had tied cords around each of her back ankles. The cords were tied so tightly, that they restricted the blood flow to her hooves. As you can probably imagine, this was quite painful.

This isn't the first time this has happened at Carousel as another pony was targeted a few months ago. This is a cruel, willful and intentional act and we are shocked someone would try to hurt one of our beloved animals.

If you have any information, please contact New Castle County Police Officer Dave Christopher at 302-995-7610.
