My 8 year old daughter and I went out riding with ...

My 8 year old daughter and I went out riding with a group on Saturday. We had never ridden before and neither had another 8 year old in the group. They separated the kids from their moms and put them together. While the ride was very enjoyable, something spooked my daughter's horse and it went wild. My daughter was dragged several feet by the horse until she was thrown to the ground. While we know things like this can happen, Sundance had zero emergency plans in place after the fact, I had to ask them to call for an ambulance. While I was waiting for the ambulance and trying to check my daughter out, they tried to have me fill out a form stating what happened and if I thought one of their employees was at fault. When Skip, one of the employees heard I had called for an ambulance he told me, "they don't like when we call for ambulances and don't need them." He said she just needed a bandaid in her finger. My daughter had road rash all over her chest and a large bruise on her neck, left shoulder and hip. I had no idea if she had any internal injuries. Thankfully my daughter is fine, but I will never EVER go back there. I'm sure this isn't the first time something like this has happened and it scares me to think people may not get the medical attention they need. I'd leave negative stars if I could.

As if adding insult to injury, the owner replied to this post with some things that were never said when this happened. I was never asked if I needed an ambulance at the scene, instead they brought a 4 wheeler out to pick us up. I was never asked why she was moved. The only response I got from apparently the owner was "they don't like us to call ambulances if we don't need them, ". And "she just needs a bandaid" which he put on her finger. When the ambulance got there he told her to walk out to it and I told him not to move her. The medics looked at her and said they thought she would be fine, but I insisted on taking her to the hospital just to be sure. Of course I refused the ambulance ride when I could take her there myself once I knew she did not need immediate medical attention. It is sad that the owner has chosen to handle this situation this way. This is the first time I have heard an apology even though I know that these things can happen. As a 23 year veteran police officer I believe I know when somebody needs to be checked out. And the owner should be ashamed of himself for not only trying to discourage me from calling an ambulance, but for lying on top of it.
