The RSPCA received a call about the horse and his plight, and rescuers quickly rushed out to the river to assess the situation. The horse appeared to be too injured and stuck for rescuers to get him out on their own, so they called on the South Wales Fire & Rescue Service for a little extra help. They were able to use their equipment to carefully pull the horse up to safety.
“We’re so grateful to South Wales Fire & Rescue Service, who were able to assist us and get this horse out of the [river],” Selina Griffiths, an inspector with the RSPCA, said in a press release.
