Firefighters rescued horse stuck in bathtub

Firefighters from the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District in California were called out on Wednesday for an odd rescue. When they arrived in Orangevale, Sacramento, they found a horse stuck in a bathtub.



Spokeswoman Capt. Michelle Eidam says the horse was dancing around in her stall, protecting her food trough when she suddenly fell in. Her food trough is a bathtub.



The horse, named Phantom, was completely stuck in the bathtub for about 25 minutes with her feet up in the air. Her owner saw the horse fall and called the fire department.

A rescue crew responded to the scene and between the firefighters and the family, they were able to prop the bathtub on its side and pull Phantom forward onto her feet. Phantom, a Palomino/Appaloosa mix, was not injured.
