Spooked Horse Jumps Into Pool In Florida, Rescued By Fire Department

A horse was rescued from a pool in Florida after it became frightened by another horse and jumped in.

Pasco County Fire Rescue reported that firefighters used their “large animal rescue equipment,” which seemed to consist of a harness and a John Deere tractor, to pull the horse out of the swimming pool at a home in Zephyrhills, Florida, at about 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

In a video shared by the fire department on Facebook, one firefighter can be seen attempting to calm the horse down while others worked to attach the harness to it. In the caption, they wrote, “We are happy to report that the horse is in good condition. Thank you to everyone who responded and worked vigilantly to save a life!”

Fire officials stated that the horse, named Mo, tried to jump over the pool after getting scared by another horse but landed in it instead.

After the rescue, Mo’s owner, Cindy Buckel, talked to CBS 47 and said, “It was kind of a beautiful leap into the pool. I mean, he would’ve gotten a 10 if it was a diving thing.”
