Accident with horses
Two people injured by horses at church festival
Two people were injured by horses at an event in Arnoldstein. Both were taken to hospital with injuries.
This is probably not how two riders imagined the annual Labientschacher Kirchtag in the municipality of Nötsch. A tradition here is the "Kufenstechen", where fellow riders come together. This time, the event ended with two injuries. "Right at the start of the first riding round, a 29-year-old was thrown from his horse and crashed onto the tarmac," the police announced. The man suffered a laceration to the back of his head and wounds to his hip.
The event continued. Shortly afterwards - on the third lap - the next accident happened. A 30-year-old woman, who was working behind the barrier as a horse handler, was knocked to the ground by an animal and also suffered a wound to the head and abrasions.
