That looks like a small sinkhole from ones I've seen in the news. I wonder if the owner knew about it or whether the horse falling in was the first sign of it? It sounds pretty scary.

That is a good question if the owner knew about the horse falling into the hole and called 911 or if an eyewitness called it in.

Poor Lucky. There is no way she could have got out by herself.

It must have been a big sinkhole, and the number of sinkholes opening up these days seems to be an increasing problem in the world. It was lucky that the lucky horse, called Lucky, did not break a leg, and was rescued in one piece here.

I have noticed in the news that sinkholes are becoming more frequent.
