Haflinger Foal Injures Boy in Upper Austria

A five-year-old was injured by a foal on a pasture in Großraming (district of Steyr-Land) on Tuesday evening. The boy, who was watching the free-roaming horses on the pasture with his stepfather, slipped into the fenced pasture in an unobserved moment and ran towards a six-month-old Haflinger foal. The animal ran towards the boy and brushed against him, causing him to fall.

Foal hit five-year-old in the face

Immediately afterwards, the foal kicked backwards and hit the five-year-old with full force in the face, the police reported. The child briefly lost consciousness and was immediately taken off the pasture. The rescue service took the injured to the hospital.
