A horse which went on the loose fell into a homeowner's swimming pool.

The drama unfolded on Friday in Hadlow Road, Tonbridge.

Several members of the public reported seeing the animal walking up the road towards Bourne Lane and called the police.

But the horse carried on its journey and ended up in a swimming pool in a garden around 7am. It was spotted when the person who lives there was getting ready for work.

The horse had fallen through a cover placed on the pool and it's believed several people helped pull him out, including staff from Tanyard Farm, a nearby animal feed business and the charity Kent Horse Rescue.

Reports suggest police were called but did not attend the incident and the horse was later reunited with its stables.
