A CHP helicopter airlifted a person out of Montana de Oro State Park after the individual fell off a horse on Monday.

Shortly before 4 p.m., a caller reported an injured person needed assistance at the state park. Cal Fire personnel responded to the scene, as did San Luis Obispo city firefighters.

An H-70 helicopter crew located the person who fell off the horse and performed a hoist rescue with assistance from San Luis Obispo fire personnel, according to Cal Fire.

The CHP helicopter transferred the patient to a nearby ambulance, which then transported the person to a hospital.

Really need to start limiting the “horse friendly” trails imo. The equine community is out of control in Los Osos. Not too long ago they got reminded they were illegally using the Morro Reserve and now they’re petitioning against that. More trails soon to be destroyed and abused by horses. The reserve is supposed to be the one place where there are no bikes, no horses, no motorized anything; just people and dogs.

It’s bugged me for decades all of the weeds and non local grasses all the horse shit brings to the mdo trails.


Limit “horse friendly”? No, stop it all in the parks.
