TWO YOUTHS INJURED Bolting Horse Charged Into Fence at Teralba
Two youths were injured when a horse they were breaking in to a sulky bolted across a vacant allotment and crashed into a fence at Teralba last night.
Spencer Broadbent, 14, of Teralba, was thrown face first on to the fence, sustaining severe abrasions to nose, contusions to the left knee, and a sprained ankle.
His companion, Allan Reid, 16, also of Teralba, struck the ground beside the fence. He escaped with abrasions to the stomach and ribs.
Part of the harness was broken, but the horse and the sulky escaped unscathed. Lake Macquarie Ambulance treated both lads, took them to a doctor, and then to their homes.
There are several articles, on the Trove website, for a Constable BROADBENT from Smithtown Police Station but I can’t confirm if it is, in fact, this man.
Spencer is also named HERE.
