Baby kicked by horse dies
Monday, December 14, 2009 ยป 01:00pm

A one-year-old boy has died after being kicked by a horse in Melbourne's outer south-east.

Police are investigating the death at Narre Warren East about 6pm (AEDT) on Sunday.

They say the child and his mother were visiting a relative at a property in Boundary Road, when he was kicked by a horse and suffering significant internal injuries.

Paramedics were unable to revive the 13-month-old who died at the scene.

Police are preparing a report for the coroner.

It's very close to us, basically next suburb over from where my horses are. I *think* I have ridden along that road a while ago, very horsey area. It's a bloody tragedy :-(
