Closter NJ, Closter Volunteer Ambulance & Rescue Corps was dispatched mutual aid to Rockleigh for someone who had fallen off their horse on the trails. Upon arrival at the park, Closter EMT’s were greeted by a woman on a horse. She and the horse guided the EMT’s to the patient, who had fallen near a rocky creek.
The injuries were assessed and stabilized. The patient was walked out with assistance by Northvale Police, Rockleigh DPW and 4 Equines to the awaiting ambulance. The patient was transported to Englewood Hospital for treatment of non life-threatening injuries. The Equines were ridden back to their stable, as no injuries were reported . It’s great to hear we have open spaces where people ride their horse, right here in the Northern Valley!
