2/3/14 - Local fire and ambulance personnel were successful in freeing a horse that got trapped in a mucky pond in the southern portion of Unadilla Township. Unadilla Township Fire Chief Mark Schroeder tells WHMI they were dispatched after 9am to report of a pony being stuck in the drainage pond of a family farm off Roepke Road but it turned out to be more than that. The property owners, personnel from the Unadilla Township Fire Department and Stockbridge EMS were involved and Chief Schroeder says they actually ended up calling out one of their local excavators with a back-hoe to assist with the rescue effort. The owners of the 15-year-old Mare named Polly were tending to her and getting her cleaned up after they cleared the scene, but she was very cold after having been trapped for at least a couple hours. A veterinarian was also called out to examine her. (JM)
