Horse bolts and throws bride off during wedding day shoot

A funny video has re-emerged of a bride being thrown from a horse during a photo shoot in Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, America.

In the footage, captured by the wedding photographer in November 2014, the bride is helped onto the horse to pose for pictures when it suddenly bolts.

A handler can be seen trying to wrestle the horse back under control before the bride-to-be is thrown into the sand meters away. 

The horse continues to buck after dumping the bride on the ground and nearly knocks the handler over before it is subdued.

The woman’s legs poke out from under the many tulle layers of her wedding dress as she lies stranded on the sand.  

‘This had to be one of the craziest things to ever happen to me on a photo shoot’ the camera person later wrote online.

‘My client decided that since you only live once, she wanted to take a photo on top of a horse. 

‘I’m not much of a fan of large animals myself because of the unpredictability of them, but I agreed to take the photo if she wanted.’

‘What happened next was absolutely crazy! The bride was completely fine and not hurt other than a couple of bruises. Made for a fun story to tell at the wedding!’ 

But the horse seemed to spook, perhaps alarmed by her flapping skirts, and it bolted 

She clung on bravely as the horse reared and bucked on the beach while its handler watched on and tried to pull the errant steed back

 But despite her best efforts to cling on, the bride eventually fell off, and only her legs could be seen protruding from under her voluminous wedding dress
