Thanks to the efforts of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) who answered an emergency call from a concerned animal lover who saw a horse that was stuck in deep mud on Monday, the firefighters were able to rescue the horse that was in the Hansen Dam Recreation Center in the Shadow Hills area by using shovels to dig the horse out after they diverted water and then use a tow strap to remove the horse from the mud trap. The good news is that the horse after he or she was free from the mud trap appears to be in good health. Your guess is as good as mine how did the horse wind up the mud trap in the first place.

That was one lucky horse. It must have been exhausted from struggling in the mud.

awww! Poor baby, My uncle had a horse get stuck in the mud once and they couldn't get him out so they had to pet him down! They tried for 14 hours but eventually the horse got so tired and gave up and he just kept sinking! I'm so glad they got the horse out and he/she is okay! I love animals and never like to see them hurt or suffering it makes me feel terrible!
