MEXICO CITY, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Heavy rain flooded an equestrian club in the Mexican capital, drowning at least 50 trapped horses and killing a night watchman, Mexican media said on Tuesday. A storm pounded the capital on Monday night, causing massive traffic jams and flooding key intersections across the city. The rain flooded a gorge close to the club in a wealthy neighborhood and the water rose more than 7 feet high (2.5 meters), drowning the animals inside the stables. The watchman was buried by a mudslide as he tried to free the animals.(Reporting by Cyntia Barrera Diaz, Editing by Sandra Maler)
