An odd twist to a Utah SAR ...

====
Father and son okay after horse accident in Davis County mountains
A father and son were rescued out of Mueller Park Canyon on Monday. Randy Baird and his 10-year-old son, Josh, set out for a father-and-son camping trip this weekend.

The pair intended to return home Sunday night, but when the bad weather restricted them from leaving, they opted to stay on the mountain.

Their family on the ground expected them home on Sunday night, but when they did not arrive, they notified search and rescue to find them.

Within minutes of looking, a Department of Public Safety helicopter spotted the pair, alive and well.

The Search & Rescue helicopter then proceeded to turn back when the Bairds decided to come down the mountain on their own.

Then, the father-and-son outing took another turn for the worse. Randy Baird's horse slipped and fell on top of him prompting a call for the search and rescue to return.

A Lifeflight helicopter was called in, quickly plucking Randy and his son off the mountain. 10-year-old Josh was unharmed while his father was flown, with hip and back injuries, to a nearby hospital.

Both are expected to be okay.
