Horse saved after falling on ice in Blairstown

A 27 year old horse slipped on a patch of ice and could not get up early Saturday Morning in Blairstown. The owner and some Blairstown Fire Department members first tried to get the mare to stand on stable mats and walk off the ice. Which turned out to be "an impossible task" according to firefighter Bob Halberstadt. As more first responders arrived a loader and bucket was brought in. Straps were attached to the horse and with a "giant effort" she was lifted to her feet and escorted off the icy patch walking on stable mats. By the time the rescue was completed the Blairstown police, fire, ambulance squad and office of emergency management were all at the scene. The mare was not injured. Pictures and the story were first posted on Firefighter Bob Halberstadt's Facebook Page.
