The fire and rescue service was called out
In the gathering darkness last night at around 7pm the fire and rescue service was called to Diamond Farm Caravan Park at Brean.
In a statement the service said: "Specialist rescue team from Bridgwater plus a fire crew from Burnham on Sea attended the scene to attempt a rescue of a horse that had got itself stuck in a water filled ditch. A specialist rescue Officer from Devon and Somerset also attended this incident along with an on duty Flexi Officer."
"Almost 2 hours into the rescue the horse was finally rescued from the ditch by fire crews using a local farmer's tractor, strops and lines. The horse was then placed into the care of the local attending Vet and owners who were also in attendance."
