    Firefighters rescued a horse from a ditch near to Moss Lane in Southport at 3.36pm on Sunday, November 12.



    Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service was called at 3.26pm and crews were alerted at 3.29pm. They were on scene at 3.36pm.

    One fire engine and the Search and Rescue Team attended the incident.

    Crews used strops and shackles to rescue the male horse from the ditch, with the aid of a tractor provided by a local resident.

    The horse was recovered to a horse box for a thorough examination by a vet.

    A man was given a foil blanket by firefighters at the scene for warmth. He declined further treatment by paramedics.

    Firefighters remained at the incident for around two-and-a-half hours.

    Glad to see horse not injured and all appears to have ended well.
    Now please tell me the owner of the animal will be invoiced accordingly
    or passed on to their insurance company.

    All good training for the fire and rescue service personnel.

    Now, ausard 2 were you there? Do you know for a fact that the horse was not forced into the ditch by a passing motorist or panicked by a car passing too close and too fast? If you had been the rider and forced into the ditch, would you or your insurers expect to have to pay?
    Leave that decision to the fire and rescue service.
    Had it been you in a CAR in the ditch would you offer to pay say - £300 to 500 to the emergency services?

    What is your problem, no I wasn't there. Reality check
    everything in life has to be paid for and this is the public purse
    we are talking about.
