  1. Matt;

    This is a terrible headline. How was the woman injured “after” she was trampled by horses? Did she drop her typewriter on her foot? Suffer a paper cut? Was she hit by a car “after” being trampled by the horses? It seems to me that what you are trying to convey is that she was trampled and hurt by the horses, but what you are saying is that something happened to her “after” the event with the horses. “Willits Woman Injured by Horses” might be better. Or, “Three Horses Trample Willits Woman.”

    • Tom asks, “How was the woman injured after she was trampled by horses?”

      Well, Tom, like most injuries, they tend to happen after the event causing them. It’s not rocket science. Maybe save the overthinking for something more complex?
