HORSE WALKING THROUGH THE VEGETATION AND EATING GRASS STORY: Rescuers from Help Alberta Wildies Society pulled out a female horse stuck in a swamp on Wednesday (May 6) in Sundre, Canada.

The starving animal, that had been there for almost 5 hours, was rescued with the help of winches, gears and 45 minutes of careful teamwork.

"Even while winching her out she was mainly interested in eating the grass coming within her reach.

My wife spotted this horse in peril, and has given her the name 'Faith".

This was one very lucky little horse", senior member from Help Alberta Wildies Society, Darrell Glover, told Reuters.
