A former teacher has been charged with animal cruelty over a viral video of a horse being punched and kicked in Lincolnshire.
Footage of the incident on November 6 at Gunby, Lincolnshire was filmed by anti-hunt group Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs and has been viewed more than two million times online.
It showed members of the Cottesmore Hunt in Leicestershire, and includes an upsetting attack on a grey pony named Bruce.
A woman can be seen in the video kicking and hitting the horse.
Sarah Moulds, 37, was dismissed by Mowbray Education Trust last month.
She will appear at Boston Magistrates’ Court at 11am on Monday, January 31, accused of two offences under the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
The video was investigated by the RSPCA, and was condemned by a number of celebrities including animal lover Ricky Gervais and TV presenter and conservationist Chris Packham.

A Gainsborough man was left speechless as he won a near £50,000 Range Rover in the same national competition he previously won a Bentley and a trip to New York in recent years.
Darren Godson, 34, entered leading online competitions company BOTB‘s Dream Car contest and managed to secure the prize of a £49,000 Range Rover Evoque, as well as £20,000 in cash.
Amazingly, Darren also won the Dream Car competition in 2019, earning a Bentley Continental in the process, as well as a week-long trip to New York in the Lifestyle contest.

After recovering from his initial shock, Darren, who lives in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, said: “I can’t believe it, I am so sorry to everyone who plays because I’ve been so lucky.
“I love playing BOTB because there is skill involved and a lot of fun, the National Lottery is just numbers.”
BOTB was founded by William Hindmarch in 1999 and it hands over the keys to two cars every week, as well as a lifestyle prize.

Contestants select which prize they would like and purchase tickets, starting from 45p, and play a Spot the Ball game in both the Dream Car and Midweek competitions, while the Lifestyle competition comes with a question you need to answer to enter a draw.
The competitions are independently judged by former professional footballers, alongside current and former referees.
Darren spent just 60p on his winning ticket for the Range Rover, and despite his previous wins he has not let the prizes change him.

When he won his Bentley in 2019, he celebrated by going to his local supermarket and buying a sparkly Christmas jumper, and now he has his sights firmly set on a fourth win, with eyes on a Lamborghini.
This third victory made him just the second contestant in BOTB history to win all three competitions, and he is determined to be in a field of his own by becoming the only person to win four times.
BOTB presenter Christian Williams, who surprised Darren with the news of his Range Rover win, said: “Darren really is a BOTB history maker, I can’t believe he’s done the hat trick – what an amazing story!”
A teenager working in a Lincoln branch of ASDA has been praised by the supermarket for helping an elderly woman who was struggling with her shopping trolley.
Ryley Beckett, 18, noticed a customer at the Nettleham Road supermarket was having difficulty and asked if she needed any help.
Ryley then guided the woman around ASDA in one of the supermarket’s wheelchairs to make sure she got everything she required, before taking her through the self checkouts and then to her car.
The youngster has since been nominated for an ASDA service superstar award for his kindness.
Store manager Jason said: “When Ryley saw that the lady was in a bit of difficulty he went round the store with her and did her full shopping with her before taking her through the self checkouts.
“He then helped to pack her shopping and then took her, and her shopping, to her car. When she got home the lady rang the store and thanked Ryley so much for his help, saying that he was a polite young man.
“Ryley’s a very popular colleague who’s always talking to customers. His heart’s in the right place and he’s always willing to help anyone. Well done Ryley.”
