TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Firefighters in San Juan Capistrano, California rescued a horse on Friday after it slipped on a trail.
According to the Orange County Fire Authority, the crew received a large animal rescue call around 10:31 a.m. when a 25-year-old horse named Sobe was found on the ground.
Crews worked with local veterinarians to get the horse up themselves but then decided to call in a helicopter for additional help.
