Rescuers get the horse back on its feet
A HORSE which became stuck in mud after falling in a North Yorkshire field has been rescued by firefighters.
North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service said crews from Scarborough and Malton responded to a report of a horse called Jubilee who had been stuck in mud for a long period of time.
"Crews used animal rescue equipment along with a telehandler to assist the horse to its feet and assisted it until it was able to stand on its own. Jubilee was left in the care of its owner and a vet."
Fire crews tweeted that the horse was called Jubilee because it was born on the Queen's Golden Jubilee 20 years ago, and rejected by the Household Cavalry for being too big at 18 hands.
