Video: A woman rode a horse into a South Beach nightclub. It did not go well
The
city of Miami Beach shut down a nightclub on Friday after video
surfaced showing a woman in a bikini riding a spooked horse into a crowd
of people.
The
incident happened at the Mokai Lounge sometime between Wednesday
evening and the early morning hours of Thursday, according to a city
document obtained by HuffPost.
Attendees
at the event recorded the commotion and posted footage to social media.
One video showed a man trying to pull the seemingly resistant horse
into the club as a man and woman ride on top of the animal. A second
video shows the woman on the horse amid a tightly packed crowd of
people. The horse throws the woman off before slowly walking through the
crowd as people cheer.

City Manager Jimmy Morales revoked the club’s business license
on Friday, The Miami Herald reports. A city press release cites the
incident as being a hazard to public safety and possible animal cruelty.
The

that’s still under investigation,” Miami Beach spokeswoman Melissa
Berthier told HuffPost.
The
Miami Beach Police tweeted on Friday that authorities had found the
horse seen in the video and that the it was “deemed to be healthy and
safe.”
