The line rescue vehicle from Tolvaddon was mobilised to assist a vet with an elderly pony that was laying cast in an open barn. Crews fitted an animal rescue harness to the pony before using specialist equipment to lift the pony back onto its legs. Once upright the crews assisted the vet with ensuring the animal could take his own weight, on crew’s departure the pony was walking around the sand school with the owner. This is all the information we have on this incident.

Update from owner - "He is feeling much better tonight and we have opened up the barn area so he can walk around if he wants. Thank you so much - Draggy has been a part of our family for around 15 years and each and every person from the crew were brilliant"
