A Tamworth man has been charged after allegedly abusing at horse in the Kosciuszko National Park.
Witnesses told police they saw the 61-year-old place a lariat around the neck of a tame brumby colt, before repeatedly pulling on it, causing the horse to become visibly distressed and struggle to breath.
It’s alleged the man refused to stop and the horse fell unconscious to the ground.
He will front court in February.
