The Flemington-Raritan First Aid and Rescue Squad and Sergeantsville Volunteer Fire Company responded to Good Manners Farm in Delaware Township with a variety of heavy rigging equipment, including a grip hoist, come-along, and Paratech aluminum wale.
Several crew members used the equipment to lift the horse to safety under the supervision of an equine veterinarian, the rescue squad said.
The horse, named "Tamale," was recently confirmed to be doing well.
