For 3 hours woman stays with trapped horse – then a farmer does everything he can to save its life

Fortunately, Nicole’s daughter was able to get safety and call for help. Eventually, a rescue team and a veterinarian arrived at the scene. To stop Astro panicking, the veterinarian injected him with a sedative. Nicole stayed with Astro throughout his ordeal, talking to him to keep him calm. A helicopter was also called but couldn’t assist as Astro was stuck so deep in the mud that it was impossible to tie a rope around him to lift him to safety.

The rescue team struggled to free Astro, and Nicole began to fear the worst as the tide approached. The team tried to dig out the horse, but the ground, which had become like quicksand, was too soft.

Then, a farmer arrived at the scene on his tractor and a last ditch attempt was made to free the horse using a rope attached to his vehicle.

That’s when the miracle occurred — Nicole, the rescue workers and the farmer managed to free Astro from the mud.

Nicole has 10 horses and regularly rides them along the beach, but this was the first time one of her horses had got stuck.

Fortunately, everything went well this time, but this story shows it doesn’t hurt to be extra careful.

Above all, this story is proof of the incredible love between a human and his or her animals and that the bond between them can make miracles really happen!
