Headbutting his horse now i have heard it all.

I seen this on Sky Sports News earlier. Not right at all.

I mean, headbutting an animal? wtf...it simply shouldnt be done, for any reason what so ever.

I hope they ban/fine that (knob)jockey.

Thats a fucking disgrace. What an asshole!

Hope he gets seriously disciplined for that

It was aired live on some channel, possibly channel 4, so i'm sure he'll get a severe reprimand. Shocking stuff really.

it's a disgraceful act, but then consider the fact, jockeys are still allowed to whip their horses

Exactly.

Didnt look all that bad to me either, there wasnt alot of force in it.

What a sad little man. Headbutting a horse. It was a pretty half-arsed attempt, but he still deserves to disciplined. Completely unacceptable behaviour.

This is all because of Zidane... he should be put in jail as well

Seriously, such a shocking news and such cruelty towards animals isnt good

Thats nothing legend has it that a 14 year-old Roberto Durán (lightweight boxer) once knocked out a horse for a dare.

I'd let the horse kick him, that would be an apt punishment.

That jockey should pick on someone his own size! Like a Leprecorn (unsure of spelling).

1 Day ban, surely thats trying to say 'its ok' to hit a horse?

I dont know why people create soo much fuss about cruelty towards animals .Dont we kill mosquitoes and the likes? Arent mosquitoes , ants , cockroaches etc and the likes also animals?

while i agree that its pretty unnecessary to harm an animal , the reality is that all of us are guilty of it at some point of time or the other.
Or is it just that the horse should be given extra preference?

hmmmm its not all that bad he probly was just doing that to tell the horse its not accepted to knock him off.......i mean dog trainers and vets alike tell you to hit a dog on the nose if it trys to bite you?

but the again theres other ways to calm down a horse then headbutting it???
