PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - It was an unusual rescue in Florida when a blind horse was in a yard grazing when it accidentally walked into a pool.
His owner then had to push him toward the shallow end, but the old horse couldn't get out.
He called 911, and emergency crews roped a harness around him. After giving him a mild sedative, they lifted him out with a small crane.
Luckily, rescue teams from Palm Beach County are specially trained in large animal rescue.
His owner says he's doing fine now.
