One of the riders in the Wild Cowgirl Race has been released from hospital after being injured Saturday, June 28 at the Williams Lake Stampede.
As Sheena Louie began to round a corner to head toward the last stretch of the 3/8 mile flat race, her horse Jake suddenly veered and jumped over a rail on the side of the track.
Louie was thrown off onto the grass into an area where people were watching the race.
Race organizer Monica Byrd said Saturday evening she had received a message from Sheena's family saying "Sheena has no broken bones and is being discharged from the hospital."
Louie is from the Smelqmix Valley and is a member of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band.
