Firefighters Help Save Horse from Mud

 Firefighters came to the rescue of one unlucky horse Friday.

When Oceanside Fire Department's Engine 2115 responded to a call for an animal rescue, they found Dakota the horse stuck in mud.

The horse had been stuck in a drying irrigation pond overnight and needed to be rescued.

Firefighters quickly lent a helping hand and secured the horse using a rope and mechanical advantage rope system to help get the horse out of the mud.

Dakota is a healthy horse now and her owners are happy she’s out of the mud.
