A performer was dragged along the ground by a bolting horse during a tourist show.
In the clip, the horse appeared to become spooked in the arena before throwing the rider off its back.
But the performer’s foot was trapped in the stirrup and she was dragged along the ground as the horse bolted in fear.

Wearing costumes, colleagues ran into the arena to help the woman.
Her foot was apparently freed from the stirrup at the end of the clip.
The scary scenes were filmed at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park near Hong Kong, China, yesterday (15 Mar).
Paramedics checked the victim at the scene and she was said to be shaken but otherwise unharmed.
It’s unclear what caused the animal to react in fear.
The Knight Theatre opened at the safari park last month, as reported by Need To Know.
The amphitheatre features daily equestrian performances and stunt shows.
Routines often include a medieval theme involving knights and their trusted steeds.
The safari park also includes the Chimelong International Circus, which opened in 2000 and is recognised as the largest permanent circus building by Guinness World Records.
