NuNu, the American Paint horse ridden more than seven miles down the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago last week, is expected to recover from the injuries she sustained, though she should never be ridden again.

NuNu was seen in a viral video posted by Adam Hollingsworth, known as The Dread Head Cowboy, early last week as part of a protest against the number of children getting shot in Chicago. Hollingsworth’s intended purpose quickly shifted when it was reported that NuNu was forced to run on the paved highway without shoes and was whipped to continue when she collapsed.
