Jockey Jody McGarevy escaped serious damage after he was given a "little kick in the a**e" by his horse moments before a race.
The Coleraine man was left in agony by his ride, the aptly named 'Emotional Damage', before a run at Naas last Thursday.
The 32-year-old was attempting to mount the Gordon Elliott-trained horse in the parade ring before the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle when it reared up and lashed out at McGarvey, appearing to strike the unfortunate jockey in the calf.
