In a video that was posted on Facebook, it showed a horse being tied to the back of a pickup truck and being pulled across the country.

The video has caused outrage on the internet.

The Grand County Sheriff’s Office has seized the horse, named Trigger.

The owner of the horse, who was not identified, got with an interview with CBS4 news in Grand County after the incident.

During the interview, the owner of the horse said, “You make one bad decision sometimes and it can destroy your life.”

She added, “I’ve lost my job over this, I’ve upset a lot of people. I made our horse go through something that he shouldn’t have. I was wrong.”

An investigation was launched for the incident after the Grand County Sheriff’s Office got calls from a number of people who reported a video that was posted on Facebook.

The video shows a horse that is tied by its halter to the back of a pickup truck.

The truck then drives away and the horse is being pulled for at least 100 yards down the road, which is covered in snow.

Brett Schroetlin, the Sheriff of the Grand County, said, “Cases involving kids and animals are obviously very emotional.”

He added, “We need to do our part of the investigation which sometimes takes a little bit longer than what the community is hoping.”

Deputies were informed about the video on the day of the incident and an investigation was launched on the evening of Sunday.

Trigger, the horse, was a new addition to the family of the woman.

The new owner said Trigger was giving problems to his past owners.

The owner apologized for her actions.

She said, “I’m very sorry. I get why people are upset.”

The owner added, “I was so stupid, I don’t know why we did it.”

Trigger was taken from the house of the woman and will be evaluated by animal welfare officers.

The owner owns 2 other horses, they were not seized by the authorities.
