The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on December 3, 2002 that twelve-year-old Monica Averhoff was killed when her horse spooked while being ridden on a beach. She fell from her saddle and was dragged about a half-mile along the beach by the running horse. She had been riding with several others, including her younger sister, on a guided ride on the beach when four of the horses started running. Monica suffered head injuries, from which she died. Her sister was also thrown from her horse but was uninjured.
