Chloe Briody, 25, was walking alongside racehorse Kameko Fever on Tuesday. The horse then suddenly lashed out and struck her with both back legs.
Medical screens were quickly placed around Briody as emergency staff rushed to assist her at Redcar Racecourse.
Remarkably, Briody escaped the frightening incident with only minor injuries.

The incident unfolded ahead of a Class 6 seven-furlong race for three-year-old horses.
Kameko Fever, making the eighth start of his racing career, initially appeared calm before the situation suddenly changed.
Briody walked toward the horse and grabbed a strap attached to the cloth covering the animal.
Moments later, the horse shifted its weight onto its front legs. It then forcefully kicked sideways with both rear legs, sending Briody crashing to the ground.
Live coverage from Racing TV captured the entire moment.
The clip later spread rapidly across social media, with one post on X generating more than 3.7 million views.
