Horse trainer's first visit to Canfield Fair goes horribly wrong

YOUNGSTOWN

Dan Trent considers himself a lucky man.

And he should.

A week ago today the 66-year-old fell to the ground in front of two officers at the Canfield Fairgrounds.

The horse trainer from Delaware, Ohio, went into cardiac arrest while he was on his way to grab a bucket of water for his horse.

Essentially, he died during his first visit to the Canfield Fair.

Quickly the two officers got to work. They started CPR and called for emergency personnel.

He flatlined three times, then a defibrillator brought him back.

And today he gets to go home.
