This is the moment a horse’s enthusiastic gallop ended with a spectacular slide down a hill.
Orla, who lives on a farm in Meerbrook, Staffordshire, was filmed galloping through the grass when her back legs started to skid.
Her white tail can be seen sticking out of a dark coloured horse blanket as she tumbles forward, landing flat before rolling onto her back and sliding down the incline in the field.

‘Nothing to see here, just Orla throwing herself down the hill,’ she said.
