It was reported by bystanders that a horse was out of control and kicked and stomped its owner. The owner, who was identified as Mark Davis a 52-year-old male of Parker, Kansas, had received injury to his head and chest. Mr. Davis soon thereafter expired due to the injuries.
The fatal injuries to Mr. Davis remain under investigation pending the result of an autopsy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Mr. Davis and the members of the Pleasanton Saddle Club as they deal with this tragic loss.
