FIREFIGHTERS from Tankersley station were on hand to help rescue a 35-year-old horse last weekend.
The horse – called Flash – had sat down for a sleep, but in muddy conditions had been unable to get back onto all fours.
The Tankersley crew arrived at the Sheffield horse sanctuary to help save him. A spokesperson said: “We used specialist equipment to lift him back up, with the help of the sanctuary’s tractor.
“Flash was a bit wobbly at first, but soon managed to walk away back to his shelter and his best friend Missy.
“Thornberry Animal Sanctuary is one of the few rescue centres that cares for old and unwanted horses.”
