FIREFIGHTERS had to rescue a 30-year-old horse after it was stuck in a ditch overnight.

They managed to place a strap around the horse and it was pulled from the ditch.
A spokesman said: “It had been in the water-filled ditch overnight.
“The horse was left in the care of a vet but it is hoped that the horse will make a full recovery.”
