Horse rescued after getting stuck in tyre

Police, firefighters and residents all pitched in to rescue a horse named Rowdy after he got stuck inside a large tyre on a farm in Belington, West Virginia.

The tyre apparently holds water for the livestock, and when some local residents found Rowdy stuck, they were afraid he was going to drown. It is unclear how Rowdy found himself in such a mess.



Tonya Long, one of Rowdy's owners who was on the scene, believes that Rowdy got trapped after an altercation with some of the other horses.

It took time to free Rowdy, but after some rest and a check-up with a veterinarian, he was said to be doing well. Rowdy was previously rescued by his owners after being abused and starved.
