An emergency crew was called Sunday afternoon to the Bucks County Horse Park in Upper Black Eddy to rescue a woman trapped under a dead horse.

A Bucks County dispatcher said the woman was walking the horse up a hill when it died. It fell and pinned her.

The woman was taken to St. Luke's Hospital in Easton with non-life-threatening injuries.

Firefighters were told to arrive without sirens so as not to spook the rest of the horses.

The horse park is part of a 123-acre preserve owned by the county parks system but operated as a nonprofit. It has two large show rings, two dressage rings, training and jump courses, and trail terrain where riders can practice cross-country jumps. - Jessica Parks
