Wed, 09 Sep 2020

A pony has been rescued after falling into a ditch.

Firefighters were sent to a farm in the West Baldwin area yesterday at 11:40am.

With the assistance of the owner and under guidance from a vet, crews excavated a pathway near the ditch to enable a combination of strops, ropes, and pulleys to aid the horse out of the ditch to safety.

After a quick check over “Sophie” was then led to a nearby field to continue her recovery, none the worse for her ordeal.
