A hapless horse had to be rescued after it got stuck on a gate

The animal managed to get its front two legs over the gate at Adlington Equestrian Centre, but not it’s back legs.

Cheshire Fire Service’s specialist animal rescue unit were called into action at the centre on Street Lane, Adlington, at 1.30pm on Monday, May 2.

The crew created a cordon, removed the gate which released the horse and it walked, unaided, into the stable.
