Firefighters rescued a mischievous horse who got stuck in a ditch.

Crews from Wembley and Harrow fire stations were called  to reports of a horse stuck in a ditch at a farm in Woodhall Road, Pinner, at 11.53am.

Mischief, a 22-year-old horse, who is 15-hands-high, was unable to get to his feet after becoming stuck on his side in the ditch.

Firefighters used specialist animal rescue equipment and were able to pull Mischief from the mud within an hour.

Borough Commander Richard Claydon, who was at the scene, said: “Mischief didn’t have enough room to get himself to his feet so firefighters dug a little bit out of the embankment to give him some extra space.

“Crews used a harness to turn him around in the ditch before giving him a helping hand to his feet.

“He was a little bit shaky at first, but was soon happy enough to walk away. Fortunately he has no injuries.”
