40 Rescuers Save Two Horses from Connecticut Mud

A five-hour mission involving multiple agencies successfully freed the animals from a swampy woodland.

The horses were trapped for several hours in a swampy area behind a farm in Lebanon, Connecticut.
Responders used ropes, wood, and sleds to extricate the horses from waist-deep mud.
A makeshift bridge was constructed to facilitate the rescue operation.
Both horses were assessed by a veterinarian and found to be in mild distress but unharmed.
The animals were able to stand and eat hay shortly after being freed.
