An elderly Connecticut author is under investigation after being caught on tape as he dragged his horse from the back of his car.
Culver Modisette, 86, was bringing his horse back as it was had wandered off to 'romance' neighboring horses while in heat.
Annie, the pure bred Arabian mare, went loose on Sunday morning from its barn in Stafford Springs, Connecticut.
Fighting back: Annie the Arabian mare was being pulled by her owner's car as he tried to bring her back to their Connecticut farm.
Hurt: The horse eventually fell and the owner got out to walk it back to their property, though she only sustained minor injuries on her leg.
Unwilling: The horse clearly did not like being pulled by the truck.
Slow: The owner said that the car was in neutral and he was not using the gas.
'I was trying to get her down in her stable for her breakfast and apples and so forth. No malicious intent,' he said.
His neighbor Helen Kelley was the one to spot the incident and she took pictures of the horse tied up with the rope.
She screamed out for him to stop when the horse fell and he didn't seem to notice.
Though he may not have noticed the horse on the ground, he did hear Ms Kelley's screams and he stopped the car and walked the horse the rest of the way home.
In the end, the horse only suffered a few scrapes on her legs which were later treated by her veterinarian.

This makes me so angry that I wish I could tie this man to the back of a pickup truck and drag his ass as fast as I could. This bastard should be charged with animal abuse and thrown in jail. He also should never be able to own another animal. Hope someone goes in there and gets Annie. She deserve a loving home not this sick bastard!
