When we think of animals stuck in a tree and having to be rescued by the fire department, cats come to mind. But for one senior horse in England, his ability to move between two trunks really stumped him.

Eddie, a 28-year-old draft horse, somehow got wedged between several skinny tree trunks at a farm in Suffolk. Enter the Suffolk Fire and Rescue team who freed Eddie using specialized animal rescue gear. The horse appears no worse for wear.

The department posted images of the rescue effort on its Facebook page. “Meet Eddie, the 28-year-old horse who was safely & professionally released by Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service. Excellent work by crews who used animal rescue and battery rescue equipment to successfully free Eddie after he got stuck between trees.”
