Here Duncan reports on the same find in 2018.

And while the horse may have been very frightened, it wasn't petrified.

Don't know if this - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/21/pompeii-dig-reveals-almost-perfect-remains-of-a-master-and-his-slave - is the same villa as the horse.

Surely it's quite important not to frighten the horses.
