SPECIALIST crews from around Kent and Sussex were called to a farm in Hailsham this week to rescue a horse from a ditch.
The incident happened at the premises on Rickney Lane where crews spent many hours recusing the animal.
A spokesperson from East Sussex Fire and Rescue said: “We were called at 11:57 to reports of a horse in water at Downash, Hailsham.
“Two appliances were sent. Crews used mud paths, pumping equipment and a hose reel to rescue a horse that had found itself 50% submerged in muddy water.
“Once rescued, the horse was handed over to the veterinarian. Crews left the scene at 15:07.”
