Firefighters come to the aid of Mischief.
A horse named Mischief has lived up to his name, after getting stuck in a ditch in northwest London.
The London Fire Brigade was called on Tuesday afternoon to help free 22-year-old Mischief from his predicament on a farm on Woodhall Road in Pinner.
Mischief, who stands at 15 hands, had been unable to get to his feet after becoming stuck on his side in the channel.
“Mischief didn’t have enough room to get himself to his feet so firefighters dug a little bit out of the embankment to give him some extra space,” Borough Commander Richard Claydon, who was at the scene, said.
“Crews used a harness to turn him around in the ditch before giving him a helping hand to his feet.
“He was a little bit shaky at first, but was soon happy enough to walk away.
“Fortunately, he has no injuries.”
Firefighters had Mischief on his feet an hour after receiving the call. Crews from Wembley and Harrow fire stations attended with specialist animal rescue equipment.
On his feet: Mischief gets on his way.
