This is the moment a horse bites a man’s ear after he tried to stroke it to make friends before a riding trip.

The incident happened in the city of Weifang in the Chinese province of Shandong on 19th April.

In the two CCTV footages recorded from different angles, a man dressed in a black shirt can be seen approaching the fence while three other people can be seen standing behind and after touching the horse’s neck, he bites the man on his head.

As the man covers his ear with his hand, three people can be seen approaching the injured man, and another person comes and checks the injury.

According to reports, the man identified as Lei Ershao went to the horse farm accompanied by a friend and intended to ride one.

As he was supposed to ride that horse, he wanted to develop a connection by stroking him.

Surprisingly, the horse bit his left ear.

Liu told local media: ” I have ridden horses at this farm several times before, but I have not ridden this horse. When I was bitten, I covered the ear. The injury was stitched three times, and I was given tetanus and rabies vaccines.”

Liu added that he was aware that a horse can kick a person, but he was surprised to encounter that one can be also bitten by it.

He added that after the incident he would not dare to touch a horse with an unfamiliar character or ride again.
