Gender reveal goes VERY wrong as horses are scared of fire and explosives – law enforcement is investigating the incident as an animal cruelty case
- Brazilian authorities want to interview a couple who used horses as props for a gender reveal

Parents tend to find creative ways to reveal the gender of the children they expect to welcome into the world.
A couple in the southwestern Brazilian city of Santa Helena de Goais have run into trouble with police after using two horses as props a week ago.
A video filmed by one of the guests showed two men holding each of the horses by the saddle just before the event went wrong in the backyard of a house.
A cannon containing the special gender reveal powder had already been lit with a flare and one of the men lit the cannon on top of his horse’s saddle.
Brazilian police have opened an investigation into the recording of two horses used as props at a gender reveal party in the southwestern Brazilian city of Santa Helena de Goais.

Then a cloud of pink smoke shot out of both buses, indicating that the parents were going to have a girl, sending the horses into a frenzy.
You could see the horses jumping violently as the powder floated in the air, while a man laughed and threw confetti into the air.
One of the frightened horses collapsed to the ground before both animals were brought under control when filming was cut short.
The civil police of Santa Helena de Goais have opened an investigation, although the names of the couple have not been released.

Goais state deputy Eduardo Prado, who also oversees the state assembly’s animal rights committee, released a statement saying the horses were “in a situation of embarrassment and extreme stress.”
“Idiocy knows no bounds,” he said on his social media networks. “Instances of assault come in different ways and in this video we can see how creative Brazilians are, but not necessarily for the better, right?”
He also brought shame on people who used social media to make light of the situation and mock the horses.
“The animals are clearly uncomfortable, scared and reacting to protect themselves. And there are people who think they are wrong in this story. Prado said.
“We will not let this go unnoticed. We denounced these practices and want exemplary punishment for those who abuse animals. Idiots like this should serve as an example and show that you can’t do what you want with animals.’
