Police unhappy about horse being transported on open deck of truck

A blue truck with a horse tied to the flat deck standing up has been spotted several times on roads in Houhora, New Zealand, this holiday period, including traveling at up to 100km/h on state highways.
The practice has been labelled potentially dangerous. Constable Tracee Knowler said several different people saw it.
"Inquiries will be made as to exactly what was going on and then a decision made as to a course of action (including possible charges), " she said.
Ms Knowler said she will be trying to track down the owner. Ms Knowler added that while it appeared the horse was well trained, it was a shame the owner was not as equally well trained.
