Jockey Jody McGarvey got an unwelcome kick from the horse he was about to ride at Naas racecourse last week, Emotional Damage. Thankfully for McGarvey, the horse was only damage in name and the jockey escaped serious injury this time around.

McGarvey himself shared the video from horse racing pundit Kevin Blake with the message, "Got a little kick in the a**e today!"
