Jockey's amazing recovery after nearly being unseated by horse

This is the astonishing moment a jockey fell from his horse - but managed to cling on to the animal and win the race.



Amateur rider Michael Sweeney tumbled from his mount, Ask Heather, on the final fence at the Killeagh point-to-point in County Cork, Ireland, while battling for first place.



Mr Sweeney was virtually flung over the mare's head on landing - but somehow managed to grab hold of the horse's neck as his competitor moved into the lead.
