The 27-year-old gelding, Jeremy, was trapped up to his neck in water after wading into thick, cloying mud at the pond in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester. He had already been in the water at the farm for a few hours when his owner Jayen Renshaw found him.

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service’s specialist Water Incident Unit used their animal training to rescue Jeremy.

This wasn’t the first time Jeremy has had to be rescued from water by firefighters, many years ago he went in the canal and the fire brigade were involved in getting him out then too.
