Tragedy at the stables

Amanda arrived at the stables yesterday to come face-to-face with a parent's worst nightmare. A four-year old boy had gotten wedged under the wheels of a moving horse float.

Amanda drove the boy and his mum to the nearest hospital (Bowral, 15km away) as fast as humanly possible, but  the damage had already been done.

He didn't make it.

Things can change in the blink of an eye.

Having lost my own son in a tragedy as well, my heart goes out to the parents. It also had to be very hard on all involved. It can't be easy to be that close to that much grief. It's the feeling that drove my from the Fire Dept. Mike, tell Amanda I'm thinking of her and Bella.
