Details of Event
Whilst taking two tubs along a gate, a fall occurred which completely buried him and the first tub in which he was sitting. A bar was displaced. There was no evidence to show how the bar became displaced as the tub did not leave the rails. It is possible that the pony's limbers knocked against a leg and displaced it, thus letting the bar down.
