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.
