Firefighters from Howard and Montogomery Counties which are located in Maryland answered an emergency call on Monday when a horse fell through a foot bridge at Patuxent River State Park. The teamwork of the firefighters from both counties were able to rescue the horse from the trouble that the animal was going through within a period of three hours. After the horse was rescued, the horse was left to be taken care of a veterinarian. The condition of the horse is not known. I am sure that the horse will make a full recovery after being treated after being rescued by the firefighters. Link is msn.com/en-us/news/us/,,,

That is true since my late grandmother loved them like her own children.

That is true since horses getting injured in a foot bridge accidents are rare.

That is something new. I have not heard before, Well, if the horse's foot went through the bridge then it is time to renovate that bridge,

That is what I am thinking that the foot bridge needs to be replaced.

I should think it would be difficult to extricate him from the bridge.

The horse doesn't look like it's in a bad way. That must have been scary for it though.

I am sure that the horse just has a few bumps and bruises from the accident.

That is one heavy animal, and I am not surprised that the rescue took all of 3 hours to rescue the horse.
