Third horse dies at Stampede chuckwagon races; driver fined, suspended
CALGARY — A driver has been suspended and fined after a collision during a Calgary Stampede chuckwagon race that resulted in the death of a third horse during this week’s Rangeland Derby.
Stampede officials say in a statement that the accident happened Thursday evening in seventh heat.
They say driver Chad Harden impeded another driver’s chuckwagon and caused a third rig to collide with the track’s inner rail, resulting in severe injuries to a horse.
The three other horses on the third wagon had minor injuries.
