They just rolled a semi of horses on the DeerFoot Trail in Calgary. The ones out of the trailer are grazing on the median with a bunch of firefighters around them. Hopefully he wasn't loaded too full. So far the reporter onsite has only said he saw harnesses (halters) and a bucket of oats.

Roll overs of livestock is always such a sad scene. Hope all is well for human and equines alike.

40 "young" horses on board. 12 dead or euthanized. The rest hauled a short distance to a pasture to recover. Deerfoot shut down all morning, not that it would be any different than if it was open. I have heard a couple of different reports on the numbers, each reporter counts a little differently. Crying or Very sad
