This is old news but I haven’t seen it posted here so have a link.
I am left wondering what would have ensued from this fracas if the incident had occurred in a football match, Jockeys v. Horses. An educated guess is:
-
The horse goes down like a sack of potatoes and commences writhing in agony with its legs in the air.
-
The jockey stands over the horse wagging his finger and castigating it for unsporting behaviour.
-
The rest of the Jockey team surrounds the horse, telling it to cease moaning and get up.
-
The other players in the Horse team canter up and start miming at the referee to show a red card.
-
The referee, having failed to spot the headbutt, sends the horse off for diving.
-
The rest of the Horse team kicks seven bells out of the jockeys and the referee.
-
The match is abandoned and all the horses are gelded to teach them a lesson they won’t forget.
