A horse measuring 5ft 6ins had to be rescued after getting stuck inside a stable.

A fire engine and a specialist Animal Rescue Unit were called to help Gladys in Raspberry Hill Lane, Iwade, at 11.30am after she was unable to get back up.

The crews managed to use a rescue winch to safely move her back out into the open after she managed to fall over.

They then placed rescue straps around her to lift her back onto all four hooves.

Gladys who is aged 26, which is 75 in human years, was handed back to her owner and the crews left just after 2pm.
