Horse rescue

Firefighters rescued an elderly horse today after it collapsed and was trapped.

On arrival, crews reported that the 32-year-old horse had collapsed and was trapped between an exercise area and fences.

Firefighters worked together to move the horse - who weighed approximately 500 kgs - using a glide and were able to move it to a safe area.

Crews then rotated the horse as it had been on its side for a prolonged time. The horse was unharmed and left in the care of its owner who had owned the horse for 28 years.
