One fire engine from Lymm and Animal Rescue Teams from Knutsford and Bollington attended.
Details
Firefighters were called to rescue a horse that had become stuck on its side.
The horse, a 27-year-old named Prince, was sedated by a vet while crews set up a lifting technique using a medical suspension harness attached to a tractor. This supported the horse while he regained his strength.
Once Prince was able to stand, the harness was released and he was able to walk around the field and return to his stable with no ill effects.
