The incident occurred on a busy Saturday afternoon, with many people in the park at the time.

The driver of the horse carriage was shaken but unhurt, while the horse suffered minor injuries.

At Union County Park, a dog attacked a horse-drawn carriage on the first day of the season, causing a chaotic and terrifying scene.

The attack happened at Cane Creek Park in Waxhaw, North Carolina, and was caught on video.

A dog, triggered by something, went after a horse named Queen Charlotte pulling a carriage.

The horse's owner, Bridger Medin, said the attack was a nightmare come to life.

The dog was not on a leash, despite park operators requiring pets to be tethered.

The horse stayed and fought to protect the people and its riders, even under a vicious attack.

A woman driving the horse-drawn carriage, Amanda Medlin Underwood, was seriously injured, suffering multiple head wounds that had to be stapled and a broken foot that will require surgery.

The attack lasted for nearly four minutes, according to witnesses, and left the carriage driver hurt.

The horse suffered at least 15 bites, including bites to its face, legs, stomach, and throat.

The dog had to be put down due to its injuries.

No charges have been filed against the dog's owner, who is a park visitor.

The Union County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident.

Carriage rides have been suspended indefinitely while Underwood and the horse recover.
