Aug. 14 (UPI) — Firefighters in Maryland came to the rescue of a horse that attempted to walk over a wooden plank Thursday morning and ended up stuck in a hole about 8-10 feet deep.
The Baltimore County Fire Department said on social media that rescue crews responded to a property on Hanover Road on Thursday morning when “a horse walked over a wooden plank which gave way [and] fell into [an] 8-10 foot pit.”
Firefighters teamed up with the Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue Services’ Special Ops crew to form a rescue planm.
The equine was sedated, and rescuers ended up borrowing a crane from a local towing company to hoist the horse out of the hole.
The horse did not appear to be injured, but was placed in the care of a veterinarian while it recovered from the sedative.
