3YO Girl Badly Hurt By Horse Kick

A 3-year-old was badly injured when she was kicked by a horse in the Rathdrum area Wednesday afternoon. The child suffered apparent broken bones and severe lacerations when she was kicked about 10 feet in a pasture at 4708 W. Diagonal Road (& Sturgeon Road) at 6:16 p.m. Apparently, the girl had run back to say goodbye to a horse after helping feed the animals. She was standing behind a horse, which kicked when the girl’s mother yelled at her to come to supper. Jacqueline Jones and Amee Llamas witnessed the incident. MedStar transported the unconscious girl to Sacred Heart.
