A dog walker watched in horror as a horse fell on a trainer yesterday morning.

Emergency services were called following reports of a man trapped under a horse in a sand dune at Ocean View Beach, near Brighton, about 9.14am.

A witness said she was walking her dog along the beach and watched as a man trained two horses.

One of his horses became ''frisky'' and it broke loose, she said.

''He fell off his horse and the horse has him trapped, while the other racehorse has just continued running along the beach.''

A St John spokesman said an ambulance along with fire and police were called to Brighton Rd to help assist the man, who was uninjured.
