MERS received their 1st Call out for 2012 on Thursday, January 05 @ 11:08am. We responded to an address for a horse that was down in an area right next to a barn. The veterinarian had already been called and was on the way, but was a couple of hours away. The Veterinarian gave the owner specific instructions.

Upon our arrival we placed the MERS Head Protector on the horse and took vitals. The basic vitals came back favorable. Using our Bill Hook, we were able to get our two long webbings under the horse. With equal amount of people on each side, we were able to lift the horse up into a standing position on our second attempt. We walked the horse out into a pasture for approximately 15 minutes. The veterinarian was still enroute as we left the scene.
