The brave team of firefighters protecting the Black Country South community in England had their hands full when they arrived to this particular scene.
From the depths of a murky canal, a dark brown shape could be seen. It was a poor, innocent horse that seemed to have gotten caught in the deep end and couldn’t pull itself out again.
However, despite the obvious danger of the situation, the horse seems rather peaceful in this video. We all know how intelligent these majestic creatures are. It wouldn’t surprise me if this one in particular knew the firefighters were preparing to rescue it!
Why panic when you know a team of incredible firefighters are on the job?
Any kind of animal rescue video can be difficult to watch. They’re almost always dramatic because the stakes are so high. Did you catch those horses that were rescued from an island by a team of women? There’s also the group of police officers who saved a horse from a backyard swimming pool.
It’s a very delicate process rescuing an animal of that size without being hurt yourself, but these first responders are trained for the job.
Armed with several sturdy ropes and their own strength, Fire Commander Neil Griffiths and his team successfully managed to pull the horse from this video to safety. When the gentle creature has all fours (or rather, hooves) back on dry land, it immediately proceeded to munch on grass. All's well with a snack!
