The young horse was either “unable” or “unwilling” to get out of the pool after entering it, according to an email from Greg Brody, a lieutenant at the Rainier fire station, passed along to the Spotlight on Thursday by Fire Chief Jay Tappan.
Firefighters reportedly responded to the scene in a backyard on Dike Road at about 8:43 a.m. Several other fire district personnel, including two mechanics, arrived afterward “to offer muscle,” as Brody put it.
“Using a fire hose as a sling, the horse 'Amy Lou' was removed safely from the pool,” Brody concluded. “Eventually, she made it back onto her feet and reunited with her concerned mother.”
