A cowboy hurt last night in the rodeo at the Lorain County Fair is in stable condition, according to a spokeswoman at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.

Nelson Miller of Coshocton was bucked from his horse and apparently kicked in the head during the bareback bronc riding portion of the rodeo.

He was LifeFlighted from the fair to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.

He suffered a concussion and a collapsed lung but is out of the hospital’s intensive care unit, according to Jim Bainbridge, senior public relations coordinator at the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.

An announcer at the rodeo and several rodeo officials with the rodeo identified the rider Wednesday night as Logan Kohler. Bainbridge said no one named Logan Kohler was a member of his association or was registered in Wednesday night’s event.

Miller is not a member of the PRCA either and was a last-minute local add to the rodeo, Bainbridge said.
