WAYLAND TWP. Emergency responders rescued a horse from an pond near Wayland Friday, Feb. 26, cutting out the ice that had trapped it before it could succumb to the freezing temperatures, WOOD-TV 8 reported.
The Allegan County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called to Mary’s Country Critters farm in Wayland Township just after 7 a.m. on a report of a horse stuck in the pond. It was unknown how long the horse, named Misty, had been in the water.
“It had ice all the way around it and then just broke through the center, so the challenge was it couldn’t get back up on the ice to get out of the pond,” Wayland Fire Department Lt. Jim Stoddard, who was part of the team that responded, explained.
