Firefighters rescue large horse

Firefighters helped a large 28-year-old horse back on to his feet today after he fell in his stables overnight. 

Crews were called to stables in Elm Lane, Roxwell at 7:52am and reported that the horse was laying down in the stables and unable to stand up on his own. 

Specially trained firefighters from Chelmsford Fire Station worked alongside a vet to lift the horse using our animal rescue equipment.

Once back on his feet, he trotted off happily into the field and was left in the care of his owner.
