ONE of the Queen's horse riders has been jailed after attacking an ex-jockey in a jealous rage.
Jonathan Nolan, 32, who is a work rider for royal trainer Sir Michael Stoute, battered former jockey-turned-PR director John Maxse after confronting him in Newmarket, Suffolk.
When police arrived, Nolan was so covered in Maxse's blood that they thought he had himself been the victim of a serious assault.
On Thursday, Judge Rupert Overbury jailed him for four years at Ipswich Crown Court, after he admitted grievous bodily harm with intent.
He said: "You carried out a vicious, sustained and unprovoked attack.
"Simply by using your hands and feet you left Mr Maxse looking like the victim of a road traffic accident."
The court heard that Nolan had objected to Maxse's friendship with his ex-girlfriend, Genevieve Hippisley.
Hippisley, the mother of Nolan's three-year-old daughter, watched helplessly as the five-minute attack took place at her home in Corsican Pine Close at 11.30pm on July 21.
One police officer said Maxse's injuries were the most shocking he had seen.
Prosecutor Richard Kelly told the court that Nolan and Hippisley, 26, had broken up after a long relationship.
Earlier on the day of the attack, she sent him a text message saying: "I have tried not to hurt you but you and me are over now."
The prosecutor described how Nolan arrived at his ex-girlfriend's home that night and found Maxse sitting on the sofa.
He attacked the 5ft 6in Maxse who stood little chance against Nolan, who is 6ft 1in and athletically built.
Nolan kicked Maxse several times as he lay on the floor then chased him on to the pavement outside where he continued the attack.
The victim was left with a broken nose, fractured eye socket and fractured cheekbone.
Maxse, former PR director at the Jockey Club and the British Horseracing Authority, was photographed with a black eye and cuts and bruises to his face following the incident.
The 45-year-old former jockey, who works as a communications consultant for Qatar Racing and is a work rider for Michael Bell, said on Twitter that he was left looking like film character Rocky Balboa.
