El Dorado Search and Rescue members answered an emergency call from the Yolo County Animal Services about a horse named Matsie who is female fell into an abandoned silo on Sunday December 15. Thanks to the teamwork of the University of California Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital's Large Animal Clinic, the North Valley Animal Disaster Group, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office and the Yolo Fire Department. A pulley was used to get the horse out of the basement of the abandoned silo so that the female horse could reunite with her family and friends. Link is upi.com/5121734459257 via @upi
