A horse stuck in the mud was rescued by Denton County Fire Department officials and volunteers Sunday.
Officials said they received a call Sunday morning shortly after 7 a.m. and later arrived at the scene, where they found the horse, laying on its side and unable to get up. Firefighters dug through the mud and underneath the horse so the rope could be applied and used to help get the animal out. Ropes were eventually ineffective and even at one point, a tractor was used. A winch was eventually used successfully.
A veterinarian was on the scene with medication and assisted in taking care of the horse, who is still resting with IV fluids, food and water and is with the owners.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
