Miniature horse rescued from pool by firefighters

Firefighters have rescued a miniature horse that fell into a swimming pool.

The black and white cob was found stranded in the water at a property on Dunt Avenue in Hurst, Berkshire, on Tuesday afternoon.

Berkshire fire service crews, including an animal rescue specialist, used a pump to drain the pool before creating steps with hay bales.

The fire service said the horse was safely guided out from the pool after about two hours.
