Ben the 25 year old Cob thought he'd have a play in the mud this morning. Luckily Winchester Fire Station, Lyndhurst Fire Stn & Hardley Fire Station were there to give him a helping hand out of the mess he'd got himself into! 🐎 Back on his feet and walking around as crews finished at the scene 🚒

What a lovely letter of gratitude, addressed to our Chief, recognising the efforts of all the teams involved in the animal rescue a couple of weeks ago. And we are SO pleased to hear Ben the horse is doing so well, with a new lease of life! 🐎🚒💙 Hardley Fire Station Lyndhurst Fire Stn 🙌
