Video: Racing horse runs amok, bangs into wood barriers

A racing horse escaped its instructors and ran amok just before the start of a race in Saudi Arabia, banging into three wood barriers before it was caught.

The horse was being prepared with other horses for the race in the northeastern Saudi town of Kahfji when it suddenly ran off with its face covered.

It banged into the fence of the race course and fell down before getting up and running again. The horse then rammed into two other barriers but it then stopped and let its instructors catch it and calm it down.
