DENNIS Wilson, 38, of Golden Fleece, West Coast Berbice was earlier this week admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital nursing three fractures to his right leg.Tragedy struck last Wednesday when he was on horseback rounding up his cattle and one of the horse’s legs slipped into a hole, throwing both animal and rider to the ground.

Wilson was having a heck of a time rounding the cattle up, but for an instant focused his attention on a calf he wanted to get out of the way. In typical Texan style, he swirled his rope through the air, bouncing with excitement. Momentarily, he lost control of the horse and its leg ended up in a hole.
As Wilson landed on the ground, the horse fell on top of his leg, and he sustained the injuries. His cousin who was nearby helped him up and he was taken to hospital. But because the leg was badly swollen it could not immediately be placed in cast.
His condition is considered as being stable.
