Some animals find themselves in extremely unfortunate situations and trigger incredible rescue operations. As explained in an article published in the columns of West Francea 23-year-old horse found himself stuck on his back, with all 4 legs in the air, in a very narrow stream at Villefranche-de-Conflent.
The animal, unable to free itself, had suffered a fall of 4 meters before finding itself in this complex situation. But as our colleagues tell us, the equine was able to count on the mobilization of around fifteen firefighters and its veterinarian.
“Every intervention counts, regardless of the victim to be rescued”
Out of the woods, the animal, uninjured following this mishap, is now safe, to the great relief of its family. Since its publication online on June 23, 2026, the publication of SDIS 66 received more than 8,300 likes and generated many reactions.
