Victor firefighters rescue horse from muddy bog

MONTANA -- When members of the Victor Volunteer Fire Department were called out Wednesday to a nearby ranch for a horse stuck in the mud, none of them could have imagined the challenge they’d soon face.

“When we arrived, all you could see sticking out of the ground was the horse’s head,” said Fire Capt. Mason Kay.

The horse had stepped into a natural spring and apparently began to struggle when its hooves slipped in the mud.
