Video of the crash, which happened during the Argentine Rally in South America on Monday, shows driver Federico Villagra slam his Mitsubishi Evo into a horse that had wandered onto the dirt track.
The horse, which was catapulted into the air, was put down after the crash.
Other horses that had wandered onto the track came within inches of being hit by the speeding car.
Amazingly, Villagra and his navigator not only escaped injury, but the incident only cost them 30 seconds of time during the race, according to the Los Andes newspaper in Argentina
