A woman says her horse suffered a "horrific painful death" after fireworks led to her bolting through a solid wooden fence. Joanna Barnett's horse Tallulah was put down as her injuries could not be helped with veterinary painkillers after the fireworks on New Year's Eve.
Tallulah was spooked by loud noises and bolted through a fence. Police closed off the road where Tallulah collapsed with multiple injuries. A vet helped revive Tallulah and she was returned to her field, but she continued to worsen through New Year's Day.
Joanna told SurreyLive: "She was shaking, dripping with sweat, falling over, and showing a heart rate of 120." Joanna had had Talullah for 18 years.
