South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue

A big well done to firefighters from Adwick, Edlington and Tankersley who rescued a 35 year old horse who'd got into difficulty at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary.
The horse- called Flash- had sat down for a sleep, but in muddy conditions had been unable to get back onto all fours.
We used specialist equipment to lift him back up, with the help of the sanctuary's tractor.
Flash was a bit wobbly at first, but soon managed to walk away back to his shelter and his best friend Missy.
Thornberry Animal Sanctuary is one of the few rescue centres that cares for old and unwanted horses.
