He was taken to hospital for evaluation and treatment.

Bremner was not injured.

In a separate incident, a 12-year-old horse belonging to the team of Reg Johnstone collapsed after completing a run.

No other horses were injured.

The Stampede is reviewing the circumstances of the crash to determine what happened. Initial indications are that there was nothing out of the ordinary with the wagon, the horses or the tack.

The Stampede says the horse that died, which was named Denny, had last raced about a week ago at the Ponoka Stampede.
