6/19/13: Horse Rescued From Tire In Barbour County

WEST VIRGINIA -- A horse in Barbour County found itself in wheel trouble.

Belington police, firefighters and residents pitched in to come to the horse’s rescue when the horse somehow got stuck in a tire Monday in the town.

A police officer spotted the horse and other emergency workers then came to the horse’s rescue.

 

It took them about 30 minutes, but they were finally able to free the horse. The horse was taken to a local veterinarian and is doing OK.

One of the horse's owners, Tonya Long, told The Inter-Mountain in Elkins that she believes Rowdy got stuck after an altercation with other horses.

No one really knows for certain how the horse got into the predicament, but for the horse, it turned out to be a “Goodyear.”
