Firefighters helped a 21-year-old horse onto her feet yesterday after she fell in her barn.
Beauty, a shire horse weighing approximately one tonne, had fallen in her barn and was wedged against a wall unable to stand.
When firefighters from Burnham arrived to help, Beauty was tired and shaking. A vet was on scene and had given her some pain relief while a plan was put in place to get her back on her feet.
The Animal Rescue Unit at Chelmsford Fire Station was at another incident but were able to pack up from the scene as quickly as they could to rush to Beauty’s aid.
