Spider's owner Jon Stevens went out with the rescue team at first light on Sunday morning, fearing the worst. Jon scrabbled down the near-vertical embankment where they had slipped off the trail in the early hours and, upon reaching the river, found Spider scraped to heck but otherwise uninjured, waiting patiently for someone to come and extract him from his predicament. He had slipped nearly 750' to the river below. Best wishes for a full recovery, but by the looks of him on the webcam Jon has trained on Spider's paddock, he was back to racing around the day after his ordeal.
