The girl had been leading the horse on foot in a training session on her family's farm in the 190 block of Snake Lane in Kinzers, when it became spooked — entangling her in its reins — dragging her down the road on Tuesday, June 25, according to the coroner's office.
What happened next isn't entirely clear but soon she was taken to Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital where "resuscitation efforts" had failed, Bieber explained. The coroner's office was called to the trauma bay at 11:49 a.m., she was pronounced dead shortly beforehand at 11:35 a.m.
Her manner of death was multiple traumatic injuries and the manner was ruled accidental, the report stated.
The girl's name hasn't been released but public records show the farm is owned by the King family.
