Here’s an even clearer pic for you. It’s clearly a mobility scooter. pic.twitter.com/eKNDQDH2bE

Ottawa Police defended their actions afterwards by claiming protesters showed “assaultive behavior.”
The protesters continued their assaultive behaviour with the police line, to prevent an escalation or further injury, mounted officers were sent in to create critical space between the police line and protesters. This is done to create a safe distance. pic.twitter.com/PUIj7w1rwc

As this was happening a bicycle was thrown at the feet of one of the horses in an attempt to injure it. One person was arrested for intentionally harming a police service animal.

It appears that the “bicycle” they referenced is actually the older woman’s walker whom they trampled over.
You can see from the screenshots above she still had the walker in her hands after they trampled over her.
UPDATE: Here’s video of the elderly woman right before she was trampled by police stating that she and others are only there to peacefully protest.

Conservative MP Dean Allison put out a statement on Twitter condemning Tinpot Trudeau’s attacks on peaceful protesters.
“What we are seeing today is authoritarian, military style measures carried out against peaceful protesters on the orders of Justin Trudeau,” Allison said. “What’s worse, it’s all being cheered on by the Ottawa and Toronto journalist class. Absolutely sickening.”
