A team was sorting and loading wild horses onto trucks to be shipped to a new location and a gelding that had injured itself was being moved to a single pen. That horse then came back over the top of the employee who was working with it, striking them in the back and launching them approximately 8 feet into the air. This caused him to strike his face on a corral panel. The employee was hospitalized.
