This was the moment a drowning horse was rescued from a pond.
Deputies at Alachua County Sheriff's Office along with fire rescue teams responded to a call about a horse drowning in a retention pond in Gainesville, Fla., on April 9.
Responders who attended the scene dived into the pond to hold the horse and keep its head above water to prevent it from drowning.
The remaining responders created a harness out of a six-inch-wide strap which they attached to a winch that they had brought with them.
Everyone got into position and pulled the horse out of the water, lodging a red stretcher under the horse to help it slide out.
The horse was later reunited with its owner with no injuries.
