Excruciating moment man in speedos is kicked in painful place by horse

A Speedo -wearing animal lover was kicked in the testicles by a wild horse during a trip to the beach.

Beachgoers are advised not to pet the wild horses on Assateague Island, off the coast of Maryland, America, which have roamed the island since the 1600s.

But the unlucky Speedo-clad tourist ignored the advice, and can be seen approaching the brown horse before gently petting its side in the video, which was filmed last month.

Unfortunately for him, the horse seems to have other ideas and raises its back leg before delivering an eye-watering kick straight in the middle-aged man's genitals.

The man drops to the group in pain as fellow sun-seekers rush to help.

Mail Online reported the man has not been identified, but is not the first person to fall victim to a horse on Assateague Island.

Last year, a lifeguard on one of the beaches was injured after being kicked twice by one of the animals.

There are more than 300 wild horses on the island, according to estimates from the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Local folklore says the horses arrived after surviving a shipwreck off the Virginia coast more than 300 years ago.
