At 14:43 on July 16th, 2020 South Metro Fire Rescue responded to an animal rescue in the 7200 block of Alpine Dr. east of Parker in unincorporated Douglas County. A 31-year-old horse slipped into a ditch, landed upside down and was trapped between the small hillside and a barn. Veterinarians administered medical treatment while firefighters constructed a mechanical pulley system to extricate the horse. It took approximately 90 minutes to safely remove the horse who was able to stand on her own! Vet’s administered additional treatment to re-hydrate her and left her in the care of her humans. Additional information was provided by South Metro Fire Rescue
