Chile: Snowboarder rescues horse found trapped in the snow

CHILE -- On his 21st birthday, Rafael Pease went out to ride some fresh powder in Chile. His plans changed when he found a stranded horse stuck in the snow and he swiftly moved to action.

appear on my ipad. Sorry if you can't view it.

“I pointed out a rock that was in the distance and realized it was a horse,” he said. “The horse was going to die unless someone did something.”

They dug the horse out and gave it some food they had brought with them. Then they slowly led her six miles down the mountain back to her owner. In the video, it says she had been missing (and likely stuck on the mountainside) for four days.
