Horse in ‘significant distress’ reportedly saved by Massachusetts firefighters, equine rescue personnel
An 1,800-pound horse in “significant distress” was reportedly saved by local firefighters and equine rescue personnel on Sunday.
West Newbury firefighters responded to 2 Georgetown Road for a report of a horse in distress at around noon on Sunday.
“Upon arrival, first responders saw a 1,800-lb. Belgian Draft horse, Summer, that was down on the floor of a barn stall in significant distress,” officials said in a statement.
The firefighters worked with specialty equine rescue personnel and the horse’s boarders to get the massive animal upright.
After about 90 minutes, Summer was up and being cared for by emergency veterinarians.
The Amesbury Fire Department and Atlantic Ambulance joined West Newbury firefighters and other personnel at the scene.
The Essex County Technical Rescue Team provided guidance to teams on scene.
“I would like to thank our amazing group of West Newbury first responders and the equine community in and around West Newbury for all of their assistance,” Fire Chief Michael Dwyer said. “This operation involved teamwork between multiple agencies and many individuals. Because of that joint effort, Summer was rescued.”
