Woman and Her Horse saved from the Quagmire

So Ms. Graham clung at Astro’s neck and held its head above the water level for three hours until the rescue team came.

The rescue operation luckily finished just in time before the tide overflowed the woman and her horse.

The initial attempts to drag Ms. Graham and Astro out of mud with the standard firemen equipment failed. Only the combined efforts of the rescue squad, veterinarians and the pulling force of a tractor borrowed from a local farmer paid off at last.
