Injuries are an integral part of the various horse races in the world, and most of them are caused by a fall of the horse or one of the riders.
This time, at the track in Hereford, England, a very strange injury happened before one of the legs of the prestigious competition, the Grand National, even started.
One of the riders, Ben Jones, was talking before climbing on his horse "Armedale", with the former Grand National champion, Mick Fitzgerald, who is now a journalist and commentator for "Sky Sports", when suddenly the horse began to go wild and violently bit Fitzgerald on the forehead, causing He was bleeding as a result of a wide cut.
Those present at the scene described the image as "moments of horror", but it quickly became clear that Fitzgerald, who was shocked at first, recovered quickly and even joked about the situation, while a medic arrived to treat him and sew up the deep cut.
Watch the injury.
💪 Made of tough stuff, these jockeys!
