Jockey Headbutts Horse



A jump jockey has apologised after being caught on camera headbutting a horse.

O'Neill said he had "never done anything like this before".

The incident was reminiscent of Zinedine Zidane's headbutt on the Italian defender Marco Materazzi in the World Cup final earlier this month.

The horse has now been suspended for 2 races as O'Neill confirmed that it had insulted the Irish-born jockey's sister and mother.
