Anyone have footage of the jockey headbutting his horse.

[Stat Brother]

Pretty much as the title says.
A jockey was unseated yesterday, at Strattford. He then apparently got up and butted the animal.

Don't know if he put him down or not, or if it turned into the cow incident in Me Myself & Irene.

I saw this on Sky Sports News earlier on, he just nutted the horse then he was leading the horse away off camera shot, no reaction from the horse, but the rider is being investigated for animal cruelty or something like that.

Video: This Bloke Is A Total ****

He should be banned from Racing for LIFE...

Plenty of talk on the BBC board about it...

BBC Horse Racing Forum

Horse should have BUCKED his f***ing head off.

 

[Woodchip]

He should lose his licence. Bringing the sport into disripute, and Animal Cruelty!!! Throw the book at him, and if possible the lectern as well!

What a

 

[Billy the Fish]

He hardly touched it, they whip them harder than that when they're racing but no-one complains about that. It's only a bloody horse ffs.

So you are actually commending headbutting a horse??

You really are a fuckwit of the highest order!

I think you need some reading lessons, where did I say that it was a good thing to do? The bloke looked like an idiot, but it can hardly be construed as animal cruelty when whipping horses is part of the sport. It just doesn't warrent this amount of outrage.

It was the "It's only a bloody horse FFS" bit at the end, that tended to imply that you could give a horse a good kicking and it wouldn't matter as it was "only a bloody horse".

He's worse than Zidane

 

[Stat Brother]

Thanks for that, guys.

Also thanks for proving I'm a lazy git who only ever uses the computer to look @ NSC & check the weather (on the BBC )

 

[Basil Fawlty]

What a f***ing ****, he deserves to be banned.

What I meant was that it's a working animal, it probably didn't even feel the blokes helmet.
In all seriousness, how do you discipline a horse? The jockey could've been seriously injured if he'd had a bad fall, the horse needs to know that it cocked up and shouldn't behave like that again. If anyone has trained a horse can you let us know if this is really that bad

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

stupid stupid stupid thing to do, but i dont think he should be banned.

he hardly hit it hard(though its not right). so yes he did the wrong thing but i dont think he harmed the horse. a good punishment but no ban i believe.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Maybe the horse started it by insulting his sister

I wouldn't have thought headbutting would be in too many horse training manuals when it comes to disciplining the creature.

 

[Wardy]

Sure the horse was not hurt but that does not condon it. He should be banned for at least 6 months.

We will have to wait and see what the horse lip reading specialist says.....
