A stunt where a young woman rode a horse into a supermarket as part of the 'NekNominate' craze has been dubbed as 'senseless and foolish' by police.
Inky Ralph, 21, was filmed by her friends riding her horse Harvey into a branch of Tesco in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, before sipping a can of Pepsi as part of a Neknomination challenge.
Police say they are investigating the incident, adding that it was pure luck that no one was hurt.
However, the rider has defended her actions as 'harmless fun'.
As she enters the shop on her horse Harvey, she is confronted by a security guard who called for the duty manager.
Ralph turns to the camera and nominates her friends to complete their own challenge, as well as the security guard.
The craze, which went viral on social media sites, involves people completing dares and ending by downing a drink.
'NekNominate' has sparked controversy after two young men died in Ireland over the weekend, believed to related to the drinking craze.
Ross Cummins, 22, was found unconscious in a house in Dublin on Saturday morning and died later in hospital amid reports stating that he was drinking spirits at the time of his death.
Hours later, the body of Jonny Byrne, 19, was discovered floating in the river at Milford Bridge in County Carlow after apparently jumping in as part of a nomination.
Mr Byrne's family pleaded with people not to participate in the drinking game.
