Dutch save trapped flood horses

Dutch rescuers have led about 100 stranded horses off a tiny patch of land surrounded by flood water, and delivered them to safe ground.



The animals had been trapped knee-deep in water near the town of Marrum, 145km (90 miles) north-east of Amsterdam for three days after storms hit the area.

Nineteen horses drowned before help arrived, though the others are reported to be in a good condition.
