A screenshot of the widely circulated video, in which a horse is whipped aggressively 

Gardaí have searched “several acres of farmland” after two teens were spotted aggressively whipping a horse in County Tipperary last weekend.

In a widely circulated video apparently filmed from a car travelling behind and filmed in Clonmel, the horse can be seen in clear distress as one of the teens aggressively whips it with a stick while running alongside a carriage driven by another boy. The boy in the carriage is also whipping the horse.
