Thanks to the efforts of the Front Range Fire Rescue (FRFR) as well as the Loveland Fire and Rescue Authority Large Animal Rescue Team who answered an emergency call from a concerned animal lover who reported seeing a draft horse who was trapped in a bog on Thursday morning in Colorado. The teamwork of the firefighters as well as the rescue team and several concerned neighbors who worked together to get the horse out of danger which took them three and a half hours. After the horse was taken away from the danger zone, the horse was then taken by the rescue team to a veterinarian who was in the area of the incident to be taken care of.
