A request for assistance was made yesterday for a 36-year-old gelding that had fallen down a hill into a wooded area and was unable to stand. We assessed the situation and determined that additional resources were necessary. The Snowdoun Volunteer Fire Department's Chief and Assistant Chief demonstrated their commitment to the community by responding to our request despite their recent involvement in a house fire, which had afforded them only a few hours of sleep. We are grateful for their support. Unfortunately, the horse's prognosis was poor, and euthanasia was performed to prevent further suffering. Our thoughts are with the horse's owner during this difficult time.
