A 28-year-old draft horse in the UK has been rescued by firefighters after he became stuck between trees.

Eddie the piebald pony found himself in a sticky situation on Friday after somehow ending up trapped in the middle of a tree thicket in his Sudbury field.

The Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service were able to cut away the branches and eventually free Eddie.

In a post on its Facebook page, the Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said, “Excellent work by crews who used animal rescue and battery rescue equipment to successfully free Eddie after he got stuck between trees.”

Eddie’s owner, Caroline Phillips, commented on the post and said, “Thank you so much for your help – have to admit he is my horse.”

“[I] think his antics are getting worse in his old age… good job he is a calm old boy… we all love him dearly even [thought] more grey hairs have appeared after today.”
