VIDEO: Firefighters speak about horse rescue over weekend
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Some quick thinking by Medicine Hat firefighters over the weekend helped save a Clydesdale horse from serious injury.
At around 11:00 am on Saturday, the floor of a trailer hauling four horses gave out along 17th Street SW.
One of the horses fell through the floor, with its rear legs becoming trapped between the pavement and the trailer.
Lt. Dan Yonkman said the Clydesdale didn’t panic, which made it easier for crews on scene.
