Rider Falls During Historic Parade | California News

A rider suffered a serious fall during the Old Spanish Days Fiesta Historical Parade when her horse reared and landed on top of her—prompting immediate aid from fellow riders and first responders. Though she declined an on-scene evaluation from Santa Barbara City Fire Department, she later went to the hospital as recommended by medical personnel. Details about her injuries remain private, but organizers are aware and will discuss the incident in upcoming meetings. The parade, one of the largest equestrian events in the nation, wrapped up the fiesta festivities this year. We hope she recovers fully and returns to the saddle soon.
