One Wednesday morning, a family from Itxassou, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, had a funny surprise: a horse, out for a walk during the night, had ended up in its pond without being able to get out! The firefighters had to go to the site to manage this situation which was, to say the least… unusual.
The scene, relayed by Pyreneesfmtook place in a village of Pyrénées-Atlantiques. At daybreak, the occupants of the house came across an equine stuck in the water of their swimming pool, at the end of a nighttime walk which had taken it to their home.
A tarpaulin that did not hold
But how does an equine end up in a swimming pool? During the night, the runaway, whom the article describes as visibly driven by a desire for adventure, passed through the garden of the property. His escapade ended in the pool. And under the weight of the animal, the tarpaulin that covered it gave way.
Firefighters who don't lack humor
In their publication, the firefighters preferred to smile about the situation. They describe an unusual start to the day for local residents, surprised by a horse whose impromptu swim turned out to be significantly cooler than expected. As the rescuers revealed, the equine was released safe and sound from the pool.
