Stable lass sent flying by horse kick live on air
Chloe Briody, 25, was struck by a kick from the horse Kameko Fever during the build-up to the fifth race of the day at Redcar racecourse in Yorkshire. The blow, caught live on Racing TV, sent her flying through the air. She was treated on the track and taken to hospital.
Equine behaviour experts point out that horses defend themselves with their hind legs, while they attack with their front ones. Approaching an unfamiliar, frightened or simply uncomfortable animal from behind can trigger a lethal reaction. In this case, the horse seemed calm but the kick was precise and violent.
Some analysts suggest that horses can act with intent to harm if they feel threatened, but most agree it is an instinctive reflex. The young woman survived, although the impact could have been fatal had it struck her head.
It is not the first time such an incident has been caught on camera, and the debate over racecourse safety remains open.
