Narrative

A horse was in a horse ring and was hooked to a carriage. The horse became spooked and started running, broke free of the reins, and attempted to exit the horse ring. An employee entered the horse ring to try and calm the horse. The horse struck the employee, who suffered a serious neck injury that required surgery, abrasions, contusions, and lacerations to the thighs/arms.
