The incident occurred just after the end of the festivities inside the Navigo, the national fishing museum.
According to witnesses, an individual inserted his fingers into the horse’s nose, causing the animal to react vigorously.
Three people were injured. One of them was able to be treated on the spot, but the other two were hospitalized for wounds.
The animal was quickly brought under control by a fisherman on horseback and a volunteer firefighter, which undoubtedly avoided even more serious consequences.
