LARGE ANIMAL RESCUE SKULL SESSION
|
JUMPER THAT DIDN'T QUITE JUMP |
This problem is based on a real scenario and is presented for a "Skull Session" discussion in the Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue Facebook Group.
Location The incident has occurred in the suburban edge of a metropolitan area alongside a relatively busy secondary commute surface road. Date and Time About 7:30 AM on a commute weekday in the morning fog. Incident Details You receive a call from Animal Services to assist with a thoroughbred horse that for some reason spooked and tried to jump the entrance gate where she was stabled. Given the proximity of the road, the horse fortunately didn't clear the gate but is now stuck with her hind legs unable to quite reach the ground. The gate is welded and cannot simply be unbolted. Equipment on-scene includes a dog catcher and highway patrol officer. Equipment enroute includes the local fire department's rescue unit. Upon arrival you see the horse hung up on the gate, hind legs dangling, with her owner at her head keeping her calm.
