(UPI) Firefighters in England responded to the River Trent to rescue a horse that wandered into the water and became stuck in silt.
The Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service said multiple crews were dispatched Wednesday when the horse was reported trapped 4 feet down a river embankment off Trent Lane in Ingestre, near Stafford.
"On arrival, we found the exhausted animal trapped in silt in around 3 feet of water," officials wrote in a news release.
The crews used animal rescue equipment to bring the horse back to dry land, where it was examined at the scene by a veterinarian.
"The horse was returned to its stables following the rescue and will be monitored over the coming days by the owners and veterinarians," firefighters said.
