November 5, 2007: Horse in the mud
 

Since we missed last Friday - here is a nice story for you. I guess this horse (named King) had a pretty interesting day. He got stuck in the mud, chained up, and then drug out of the hole. It took four attempts to get him out.

Long Live IOTD!

Nice one, Oafed!

Good to see a happy ending. I imagine the horse must have been a bit panicky and so those rescuers were risking a nasty bite or kick there, bless 'em.

Although, you do realize you have deprived future paleontologists of a very interesting specimen?

Looks like it'll need to be hosed off before we cook it. :yum:

But a French family with a very good diner.

poor thing

From the saddle I take it that some gaping idiot rode him into that?

despite the many attempts it took to get the dear out; at least it was cheaper than a day at the spa..

</awkwardness>

Bathroom break?
 

Is it me, or does it look like the guy in the background of the last shot is taking a leak?

Welcome Skylight! No need to feel awkward.

I beleve dude in red is takeing a leak !

Hi Skylight!
:welcome:

Hope you stick around, there is a bit of an Australian contingent building up ... I like it when there are people closer to my time zone. It makes for faster replies.
Also we can talk about vegemite and pavlova and stuff.

I bet that poor horse was exhausted when finally freed....the guy in red was so happy he had to take a leak?!...:eyebrow: Might he be the rider? only non emergency person...

Artex!!! You have to fight the sadness, Artex! NOOOOooooo!

Just because there is a saddle on the horse does not mean someone was riding it at the time it got stuck in the mud. How else do you propose they hook a chain to the horse?
