A 2-year-old boy died Sunday evening at his family home in Millard County after being stepped on by a horse.
The incident happened at about 7:25 p.m. at the Hinckley residence, Lt. Robert Clark, Millard County Sheriff’s Office, told Gephardt Daily.
“Apparently, the child had been stepped on in the chest area by a horse,” Clark said. “He was being treated by his parents.”
The family has a private arena for riding horses, Clark said.
“The dad had taken his son off, and the horse became spooked for some reason.”
A medical crew worked to save the child for about an hour, Clark said, but ultimately, the toddler was pronounced dead at the scene.
