The clip is accompanied by several laughing emojis reads: "He's feeding the horse fags."
A gang of around 20 teens were reportedly seen crowded around the horse on Tuesday evening.
Furious farm owner Moya Hayward and son Josh Cummings have had problems with the gang who have terrorised their animals for three years.
She said: "It could make the horses very ill and their parents aren't going to pay the bill.
"There were 15 to 20 youths out there videoing it, laughing about it, and they are as bad as each other.
"I love my animals and if anybody touches them they are asking for trouble.
"We have had all sorts happen to them."

The farm in Banstead has a variety of animals including dogs, chickens, sheep and pigs, but the horses are targeted the most.
Moya's son Josh, 23, helps his mum run the farm and sees the gang almost every night terrorising the farm animals, and described the incident as "disturbing".
"We are constantly getting hassle from kids, " he said.
"They are coming over and abusing the horses and yesterday I saw them doing something so I went over and said 'leave my horses alone'.
"One of them sort of squared up to me and said 'do you know who I am?' and was threatening me."
One family member told : "It is just disgusting what they have done, completely wrong."

The family revealed in the past they have suffered from vandalism by children, and youngsters bringing aggressive dogs on the land which have then attacked sheep.
"It's disgusting, the kids have smashed up the farm in the past and even threatened those who confront them over it," they added.
When the footage was posted to Facebook, one woman wrote: "More feral little monsters with no respect for anything or anyone!
"Shame the horse didn't turn round and kick them."
Another said: "They should be found and punished, this is animal cruelty."
