Woman slaps horse

A woman was arrested for slapping a horse in the US.

Stephanie Six and her friends got in a scuffle with police - who had to resort to using a taser gun - after she allegedly took a swing for one of their steeds.

Although she denies the offence, the 29-year-old mischief maker was charged with battery on a police horse.

She said: "A horse was literally right in my face all of a sudden, so I put my hand up into his face as a reaction. They're saying I slapped this horse when that's not the case. I was basically getting it out of my face. I just moved his face out of my face, I did not hit him."
