Updated at May 20, 2009 09:41

On Sunday, May 17th MERS received a call @ 4:28pm from a veterinarian for a horse that was down and in a muddy ravine. The horse had been down for some time, and they could not get the horse to respond.

Upon our arrival, MERS used their specialized rescue equipment, and got the horse up. It was not without a challenge, due to the fact that the horse had been down for so long, it’s muscles were extremely stiff. Once we released  the horse from our equipment, we walked the horse out for about 30 minutes, and we were then released by the veterinarian. When we departed, the horse was well on it’s way to recovery!
