The horse's owner told Newsflare: "My Clydesdale horse named Elvis had enough of being confined due to injury, reared up at me and struck out at me with his hoof. I went flying over the wheelbarrow.

"Although he had knocked down the ropes and was free to escape, he did not. He looked sheepish and sorry for what he had done. I got up, without injury, and called him a bad, naughty boy, pointing my finger and his nose.

"He is usually the most gentle horse (loved by the vets for his quiet temperament - known as a 'complete gentleman' , but he had his limits. I got the message and moved him to an arena. I was completely unhurt."
