Richard Hammond narrowly escaped further injury at the weekend after being thrown from a horse he was trying out ahead of the Hayes Golden Button Challenge in Gloucestershire.

Something appeared to have spooked the horse which then bucked the mini Top Gear presenter onto the hard ground.  He seems to have got off with only bruising and was spotted watching the event on crutches from the sidelines.
