Tyse the horse rescued from bog
Last week firefighters rescued Tyse the horse from a muddy bog in the New Forest village of Emery Down.
Tyse and his owner were riding an unfamiliar route when what appeared to be a normal patch of grass, saw them begin to sink.
At around 4pm on Monday (16th June) Redbridge crews were alerted and supported on the scene by our specialist animal rescue teams in Lyndhurst and Winchester.
Under the supervision of a local vet, firefighters used a barrel technique to remove to the 16-hand horse from the bog, before carrying out a controlled rollover, with specialist strops and a head harness equipment in use.
HIWFRS left the scene and returned to station shortly after 7pm.
