Woman Trampled by 900-Pound Horse in Londonderry

LONDONDERRY, N.H. - A Londonderry woman is recovering after being trampled by her own horse at Lucky 7 Stables on Tuesday. According to the Union Leader, the woman’s injuries do not appear to be serious, but she was transported to Elliot Hospital in Manchester to be examined.

Lucky 7 Stables owner Bruce Lemieux said the woman was taking out her horse, which weighs about 900 pounds, to have its hooves trimmed at the on-site farrier area when the animal suddenly began behaving erratically.

“The horse kind of spazzed out and basically ran over her,” Lemieux said. “For some reason, the horse spooked.”

He said the woman had the wind knocked out of her for a short time.
