BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) Authorities say a horse fell down a steep embankment near Bozeman after it was ejected from a trailer that went off the shoulder of the road over the weekend.

The Gallatin County Sheriff's office says the horse was ejected from the trailer near the Palisade Falls Campground on Saturday.

Almost a dozen volunteers from the sheriff's office pulled the horse back up to the roadway but could not save the animal's life.
