(a) The Adjudicative Committee accepts as credible the evidence of the staff Witness No. 1 which it summarised below. This witness observed Mr Malcolm, whilst angry, punch the horse in the nose, kicked it in the stomach, immobilised its head, chased it to a state of exhaustion and stomped on its nose as it lay exhausted on the ground. Witness No. 2 saw the horse lying on the ground, “thrashing its head around and it looked very, very sweaty and wound up” and Witness No. 1 was very upset so took a video of the horse lying on the ground.
