good job to the fire fighters…………….thankyou for helping get this horse to safety………….
Aww well don’t to the fire brigade. I hope the horse is ok and has recovered from it’s scare.
Have to say though I can’t think of anywhere along Alder Lane where there might be sinking sand and ditches and I often drive down there or was it off Alder Lane somewhere near the new Jubillee Centre on the old Orford Park ground? Either way glad it’s ok 😀
