Two Horses Rescued After Getting Stuck Neck-Deep in Mud

Earlier this week, two horses were rescued after they became stuck in the mud in Marion, Massachusetts.

Firefighters found the mule, Girlie, and the horse, Tick, buried neck-deep in mud, and they were breathing abnormally because they were buried so deep, rescuers said.

The rescue effort took over three hours, using a winch from the department’s brush breaker, pulleys, straps, and a sling to help free the animals. Girlie and Tick were removed without harm and a veterinarian was present at the scene to evaluate them.

“We are pleased to report that both animals are recovering and doing well at this time,” Fire Chief Brian Jackvony said. “I’d like to commend all members of the department who worked in this effort to save them. I’d also like to thank Plymouth County Tech Rescue and Mattapoisett Fire for their assistance. All parties worked cohesively for a positive outcome.”
