The animal had a laceration from the back of the left jaw, under the top of the throat and ending at the back of the right jaw.

Investigators determined that the injury was not the result of an animal attack because of the precision of the cut. The pony had no other visible wounds and is believed to be between six and nine years old.

As of Friday, investigators had few clues as to who may be responsible.
