A teenager was 'left looking like a vampire' when her own horse kicked out her front teeth and knocked her unconscious - though she still managed to update her social media while lay in a pool of blood. Ella Shilson bought her new horse, six-year-old Friday, earlier this year and three days later was walking him out to the arena for their very first ride together.
But the 19-year-old claims that her Irish sport horse must have got startled, accidentally kicked her in the face, and knocked her unconscious for around 30 minutes until she was discovered by a dog walker. The dairy farm worker was only half conscious but still managed to update her Be Real account, a social media app that requires users to share whatever they are doing at a given time, before she was dashed to hospital.
There it was discovered the 'lucky-to-be-alive' singleton had a shattered jaw, two missing front teeth, holes in her cheek and a lip that had been split in half. The animal lover claims that docs said the freak accident had been life threatening - as Friday's horseshoe had been just inches away from 'knocking her nose up to her brain'.
