Horse stuck in ditch rescued near Colchester
A horse which fell into a ditch had to be pulled out by firefighters in a three-hour rescue.
Duchess, a 25-year-old mare, was found by her owner in Great Horkesley, near Colchester, at about 18:30 BST on Friday.
Crews from Essex fire service worked with animal rescuers - who sedated the stricken horse - to get her out safely.
She was unharmed and soon "back on her feet to go off to get her dinner", crew manager Kieran Davis said.
