Drive thru Horse

I come across this story and by itself really seems not much more than silliness.
Horse in McDonald's: Rider fined after 'drive-thru' refusal]Horse in McDonald's: Rider fined after 'drive-thru' refusal
Police said the woman, who has not been named, was in the saddle when she was initially turned away from the drive-through kiosk on Bury New Road.
The woman then led the animal inside, where it "ended up doing his business on the floor", a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) spokesman said.
"The incident caused distress to customers and disruption for the restaurant, and the police issued the woman with a fixed penalty notice."
"Officers arrived at the location and the woman was issued [with] a fixed penalty notice for causing alarm and distress to other customers and staff."
Animals (other than service animals) have no reason to be in a restaurant.
I wouldn't be happy seeing a horse walk in and leave a pie, but neither distressed or alarmed.
I just found the wording somewhat extreme.
YMMV
