Hung like a horse

[Ben]

Here's a picture of some nice dutch people hanging a horse.

Well actually they were rescuing it. Apparently it got stuck in a dyke that was too deep for the usual rescue measures (putting fire hoses under the belly and pulling out) so the vet said that as horses have such strong neck muscles, it was the best option before the horse drowned.

Translation of the article, from Google translate, so not perfect.

In Arnemuiden is Friday morning brought a horse from the ditch. There was a crane to be useful to the animal from his plight. It was also the support of the fire brigade turned on. The rescue operation lasted a half hour.


The horse was around 07.30 pm in the ditch on a meadow at the Keetweg found. The fire department got the horse in the first instance not on dry land because the ditch was quite deep. A telekraan had it come in handy.

On the advice of the vet was a loop around the head of the horse down. According to the vet the horse has no permanent injury on account of the adventure.
