DEARBORN (WWJ) – A horse at The Henry Ford Greenfield Village has been euthanized after a crash over the weekend.
Officials with The Henry Ford say the Percheron horse was pulling an omnibus with passengers inside at the time of the incident. Officials did not say how many were on board at the time of the crash, but did say no one was injured.
Witnesses said the horse began running out of control, leading to the crash. It was not immediately clear what prompted the horse to run out of control.
Henry Ford officials said the horse was injured in the incident and had to be euthanized by their veterinarian.
“We at The Henry Ford are deeply saddened by this incident and we are grateful that no one in the carriage nor anyone nearby in Greenfield Village was hurt,” officials said in a Facebook post.
“The health and safety of our guests, staff, students and volunteers are our number one priority,” the post said. “The well-being and best management practices of our animals on-site are of great importance to us as an institution that has included animals as part of its stellar guest experiences throughout its more than 90-year history.”
