Just before 11 a.m. Sunday morning, the horse fell into a pit in Woodside.
An equine rescue team and firefighters used straps and a tractor to help the tired, weakened horse.

"We were able to successfully use the tractor to lift it on its four legs, which it did pretty quickly. And, then again, give it some time to recover. And, ultimately, the rescue operation was successful," said Bat. Chief Robert Doughit.
The horse was able to walk unassisted after the rescue.
