Daisy the horse rescued after falling backwards into a well

CANADA -- This is the moment a tow truck had to be called to haul out a horse that had fallen down a hole backwards.

Mare Daisy is thought to have backed in to the four foot-wide well in Saskatoon, Canada and became stuck.

 
Her owners tried desperately to help Daisy out of the hole but when they were unable to get her out, they ended up calling a local towing company.

And after attaching her to a tow rope, and pulling the animal after 45 minutes, she was finally free.
Jackie Klotz, who works for Brad's Towing, said: 'Daisy had fallen into a well that had opened up on the land.

'The horses had been roaming that pasture for years and the owners had no idea the well was there. She had somehow backed into it so was not injured at all. She was in there pretty tight.

'They called us, Brad's Towing, to pull Daisy out and after about 45 minutes she was out.

During the rescue, vets from the nearby Corman Park Veterinary Clinic were on hand to make sure that Daisy was safe.

Vets believe that the well may have caved in when Daisy stepped on it but now she has recovered and is back in the field.

Ms Klotz added: 'Daisy is doing well and roaming the pastures again.'
