Football helps horse overcome violent temperament!

Sports not only is a good way for humans to get rid of their frustrations, but as it turns out, for animals also. And a horse named Kariba is testimony to this very fact.

London, Aug 24 : Sports not only is a good way for humans to get rid of their frustrations, but as it turns out, for animals also. And a horse named Kariba is testimony to this very fact.

The 16-year old horse was know for its bad temper and throwing off riders.

Frustrated by this, his owners sold him off to horse psychologist Emma Massingale who rehabilitates dangerous steeds at her training school in Bradworthy, Devon.

Massingale calmed Karba down by getting him to play football, and copying none other than England international Wayne Rooney.

"I looked at footballers and thought 'my horse could do that'. We led him to a ball and he took to it immediately," The Sun quoted her, as saying.

And Kariba enjoys the sport so much that he has even learnt to dribble, pass, shoot and head.
