“Con coraje y habilidad, los héroes salvaron a un caballo atrapado en un pequeño agujero de gusano.”

El caballo, de unos 8 años, se encontraba en una situación difícil. Llevaba mucho tiempo pastando contento en el campo soleado del condado de Botetourt cuando, debido a un resbalón, cayó en un pequeño socavón que se había formado en el pasto.

En ese momento, estaba indefenso y sentado sobre su costado trasero. Afortunadamente, el personal de emergencia del condado de Botetourt estaba preparado para esto. Según Jason Ferguson, jefe de bomberos y servicios médicos de emergencia del condado de Botetourt, ocurre aproximadamente cada seis a nueve meses. Las llamadas de animales grandes no son inusuales en el condado rural.

Los socorristas y el control animal tienen las herramientas y la capacitación necesarias para el trabajo. El caballo fue calmado mediante sedación administrada por un veterinario. Para ayudar a calmar su ansiedad, también le colocaron una máscara sobre los ojos.

Luego, los equipos sacaron al caballo del sumidero después de colocarle un arnés especial. Finalmente fue rescatado después de casi dos horas. Tan pronto como recuperó la compostura, lo ayudaron a ponerse de pie y le dieron comida y un lugar fresco para sentarse debajo de una tienda de campaña. No tenía indicios evidentes de una lesión grave.

Ferguson añadió: “Tuvo suerte”, y añadió que el caballo ahora parecía libre para volver a “comer heno y disfrutar de la vida” después de una tarde estresante. “Gracias a Dios, teníamos el conocimiento y el personal para manejarlo. Es una colaboración, continuó Ferguson. Compañías de bomberos voluntarios de Eagle Rock, Fincastle y Troutʋille contribuyeron a la respuesta al incidente, además del control de animales, los bomberos del condado y el EMS.
