Mounted police…man…

Here’s something you don’t see every day. A horse clearly getting his own back for all the years of riding he’s been put though. Although we think he got a little bit confused by actual horse-riding and the, ahem, other kind of riding…

Yes we imagine there were a lot of red faces going around at the Smithfield Horse Fair in Dublin yesterday after this incident occurred. What happened? Well…the picture is pretty self-explanatory, don’t you think?

The incredibly well-endowed horse got a little too excited when a garda went to check and see if the animal was electronically tagged. He clearly couldn’t control himself and promptly decided to mount the poor garda who was just trying to do his job. Thankfully his colleague was on hand to rush over and to try and calm the situation down.

Although we imagine having a horse poking you with its private bits is something that you’d be mildly hysterical after, so trying to calm the situation down probably wouldn’t be of much use to anyone. Suddenly horses don’t seem so harmless…

The traumatized garda was promptly rescued from beneath the beast and escaped relatively unharmed, although the mental scarring is likely to remain for the rest of his life.

What that horse needs is a cold shower. Or six…

Fancy some more pictures? Thank Mark Henderson who caught it all on camera...

Right on the head...

Horse tries the old "I just want a cuddle" trick.

Rearing to go. Literally.
