A stable hand at a farm pony trekking centre died after she was crushed by a falling straw bale in a "very unfortunate accident", an inquest heard. Julie Parry made a frantic call for help as she was trapped between the half-ton bales but later died in hospital.
The 49-year-old was injured at Bwlchgwyn Farm in Arthog, Gwynedd, on January 9, 2018, but died on January 12 at Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor. During the inquest hearing Ms Parry's father Stuart Eves told the coroner it was "just a pure accident". He added: "The family as a whole in no way hold Bwlchgwyn in error. It was just a very, very unfortunate accident."
Gemma Evans, owner of the farm with her husband John, said Ms Parry was “very experienced and knowledgeable”. The stable hand, from Stanley Road, Fairbourne, had been feeding horses, NorthWalesLive reports.
