DAVIE (CBSMiami) –Three children were hurt in a horse-related incident while attending a summer camp in Davie on Wednesday.

It happened at Wolf Lake Park on SW 76th Avenue.

A 6-year-old girl and 7-year-old girl were thrown from their horses after their horses were startled, according to Davie Police.

Both girls were wearing helmets at the time.

The 6-year-old complained of neck and back pain and was taken to the hospital where she was evaluated and released. The 7-year-old was not injured.

A 13-year-old female camp volunteer was also injured while walking along the trail, guiding two horses, and was kicked in the face by one of the bucking horses.

She was also transported to the hospital where she is receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

When CBS4's Joan Murray contacted the camp, a woman said over the phone that, "Everyone was alright" and they had no further comment.
