Yes Pat, it was my father in law who hit the horse. About 7 a night pitch dark, overcast and two horses were walking down dave dugas. Both horses had riders on them. Father in law hit second horse breaking both back legs of horse, totaling their Yukon. Girl flew over the truck and guy was knocked off horse. Both taken to hospital but were both fine. Horse had to be shot. Not sure of names but guy was 23 years old from Carlyss.
