THIS is the wild moment an out-of-control horse dumped his jockey to the ground before trying to headbutt two others.
Camprond, who was hugely fancied for the Coral Cup at this year's Cheltenham Festival, went all over the place on his debut over fences at Exeter on Monday.
Trained by Philip Hobbs and owned by legendary billionaire JP McManus, Aidan Coleman stood no chance when the six-year-old gelding sent him flying at the first of 15 fences.
The horse looked to be approaching the flight well before veering sharply right.
Coleman was flung to the left and hit the ground feet-first before his head crashed into the turf.
Camprond jumped the second better but at the third cut in front of 250-1 shot Merchant in Milan.
That horse took the fence at a 45-degree angle and almost forced jockey Charlie Price out the saddle.
The two then did a bit of head-butting before Camprond raced right in front of eventual winner McFabulous.

It could have spelled disaster for jockey Harry Cobden as Camprond again ducked in head-first.
But the red-hot rider used his skills to avert chaos just in time before powering home to victory.
Camprond will have to sort his attitude and jumping out big time if he wants to make a mark in top handicaps this season.
Commenting on his chaotic run, one bemused punter said: "That's amazing footage.
"So incredible to see jockeys and horses up close and if it wasn't hard enough, then dealing with a loose horse on top of it #brilliant."
A fellow Twitter user wrote: "The jockey can be forgiven for thinking 'what the f***?'"
One comment read: "That was woeful."
While another said: "Why there’s no such thing as a mundane Monday over jumps."
Another horse headlines for his Cristiano Ronaldo-style leaps over hurdles.
Punters were cracking up watching Let's Go Amigos needlessly clear the smaller obstacles by miles at Leicester.
