Horse rescued from chest-deep mud in Fremont County

A horse has been rescued in Fremont County after being stuck in deep mud for most of the day on Tuesday, Nov. 18. According to the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO), deputies responded alongside a crew from the Cañon City Fire Department on Tuesday to the area of Ast Street and Elm Avenue in Lincoln Park for a horse that had been stuck in chest-deep mud for most of the day.

“Thanks to quick thinking, steady teamwork, and some creative rescue techniques, responders were able to help the horse regain her footing and safely free herself,” said FCSO. The horse appears unharmed in photos posted by the sheriff’s office, and is likely thankful for the help of these good neighbors.
