Sedated horse falls asleep on top of vet

A vet was rescued in Devon after becoming trapped under a sedated horse. The Crediton vet was called to a farm near Hillerton Cross, Bow, after the horse had become stuck in the fence.

Devon and Somerset Fire Service was called on Saturday night and found the heavily-sedated horse had fallen asleep on top of the vet, trapping her.

Firefighters freed the woman from underneath the horse and released the animal from the fence. The vet was not injured in the incident.

Station Manager Jim Laker said: "One of the vets got herself caught between the horse and the ditch, but she's fine and we got her out."
