The incident came before the first race at Irish track Punchestown on Epsom Derby day.
The medical crew on-track were able to get to Coen quickly meaning the start time was knocked back by just under ten minutes.
Coen had been due to ride the Gordon Elliott-trained Arch Empire in the 2m contest.
But the horse was withdrawn after unseating the young jockey and getting loose.
