Date of Incident: April 23, 2022
Name of Company: Old South
Code: Horse/Mule Related
A carriage wagon was heading south on State Street and a large truck made Garth (the horse) nervous to pass in close proximity. They decided to U-turn and re-route and when the turn was made, Garth slipped and fell. He tried getting up twice but the tack and shafts were in his way. Garth was able to get up when the carriage staff came to help. Garth was able to walk back to the barn. A vet came to check Garth and found Garth had superficial scrapes on the backs of his hockss and was otherwise healthy and sound. The vet recommended 3 days off or until the hockss had healed.
