SEDGWICK COUNTY, Kan. (KWCH/Gray News) - Animal rescuers were able to free a horse that had been trapped in mud for hours.
The Butler County Animal Rescue Team reports it was called to help a downed Clydesdale stranded in a muddy ravine on Tuesday.
According to Sedgwick County Fire and Rescue, the horse had been caught in the ravine for five to six hours.
Rescuers sedated the 17-year-old horse named Chrome and placed him in a protective hood. A glide with straps was then lowered into the ravine to pull him out.
Once the sedation wore off, Chrome was given fluids, a snack and allowed to rest.
The rescue team thanked everyone involved in helping to get the horse free.
