FIREFIGHTERS struggled for nearly two and-a-half hours to rescue a horse from the Bridgewater Canal at Lymm.
Two fire engines from Stockton Heath and the brigade’s animal rescue unit from Knutsford were involved in the operation.
Safe systems of work were set up for the animal rescue team to get the horse out of the water and firefighters in lifejackets entered the water.
Theyh managed to cut barbed wire away from the frightened animal.
A vet was called to the scene to check on the horse’s condition.

A huge well done to the fire brigade and I hope the horse is ok 😀
Another ‘Well Done’ to the rescue team and I too hope the horse is now OK.
This is the result of fly grazing that the council were aware of and could have prevented. Inept lazy council who won’t face up to the perpetrator. Well done to the emergency services!
