The final blow was personal: a horse effectively taught a cowboy a lesson at a rodeo

In Brazil, a local rider decided to make a show of riding a horse at a rodeo to win the favor of the spectators. However, the horse didn't appreciate the man's zeal and quickly decided to teach him a lesson.

Literally a few seconds later, it became clear the horse was "winning": it jumped onto its back, pinning the hapless rider. As the animal was being raised to its feet, the rider decided to make a show of "spanking" the man by hitting him on the thigh.

"The final blow was personal," the caption to the video reads.
