"Its callous owner wanted to observe the tradition of ducking each animal's head in the river."

Ducking a horse's head under water is not holding a horse's head under water. There's a pretty big difference. Blowzabella, who has attended the fair on numerous occasions, says he has never seen a horse having its head held under water.

When I've washed pet dogs in the past, I've ducked their heads under water in order to wash them. Quick, call the RSPCA.
