Jump jockey Paul O'Neill is being investigated after TV coverage showed him apparently headbutting his horse.

Mr O'Neill was unseated by his mount before the 1510 race at Stratford on Sunday.

This takes it to a new level. These horses are obviously made of sterner stuff than your average Italian who would have gone down like a sack of ****.
