Willie Mullins' stable staff member cries tears of joy as she's reunited with horse after Cheltenham fall

As Dysart Dynamo approached the last fence, the horse owned by Eleanor Manning was in the lead in the race at Cheltenham for the Arkle Challenge Trophy.

The tired-looking stallion, however, clipped the final obstacle and fell horribly.

Thankfully, Dysart Dynamo received medical attention having miraculously avoided injury.

The horse got back on his feet and skipped away while being held by his groom.
