Happy Ending in the Stable: Horse Back on Its Feet After Fire Department Operation

On October 4th, the Ebreichsdorf Volunteer Fire Department was alerted to an unusual animal rescue: In a stable on the grounds of Magna Racino, a 32-year-old stallion was lying on the ground and could no longer stand up on its own.

Elderly Horse Could No Longer Stand: Fire Department Assisted with Crane

The owner and a veterinarian present had previously tried in vain to help the animal up and eventually called emergency services. Since the Ebreichsdorf Fire Department had been called to similar operations several times before, the team led by Incident Commander Michael Ditzer was able to respond quickly. The fire department has special large animal lifting gear and a loading crane on the heavy rescue vehicle to safely lift animals of this weight class.

On site, the further course of action was coordinated with the veterinarian. The first attempt to attach the lifting gear to the lying horse was not yet successful. But on the second try, they managed to safely lift the animal. The owner of the stallion was visibly relieved by the successful outcome of the rescue. Thanks to the calm cooperation between the fire department and the veterinarian, the elderly animal was brought back on its feet without injuries.
