First responders rescue horse from frozen pond

Horse Rescue 2

West Metro Fire first responders didn’t horse around on Friday afternoon when they responded to rescue a horse from a frozen pond. 

Around 2 p.m. Friday, West Metro Fire rescuers helped pull the horse, who had fallen through ice, out of a “small but deep” pond in a neighborhood west of C-470 on Belleview, according to a West Metro Fire tweet. 

Firefighters assisted the horse out of the water and up onto the ice by sliding a rope around her neck, according to the tweet.
