KRON4 spoke with Ocean View Stables whose farm tends to the large quarter horse, named "Zeuss," who was harmed in the incident.
"Pretty much, we were doing our normal pasture pony ride where we take kids out on a little ten-to-fifteen-minute ride to get them used to horses and comfortable," said Caroline Reed of Ocean View Stables. "[The video of the incident] was very blown up on social media, obviously because it was a very odd circumstance. You wouldn't think anyone would walk up to a horse and just yank its tail. That's not really the normal thing for someone to do around an animal like that. We've been in cooperation with the police since. From what we're being told, the child is okay."
Despite the arrest, the Daly City Police Department is asking anyone with information on the case to contact its Investigations Division at (650) 991-8270.
