20.11.2025

Animal Disaster Team was urgently called to Gesves, where a horse had fallen into a private swimming pool. As soon as the alert was received, our teams mobilised and headed to the scene to assist the animal in distress.

Upon arrival, the horse was conscious and in relatively good condition, but its prolonged immersion in icy water made the situation particularly concerning. As no one knew how long the animal had been in the water, every minute counted.

The rescue operation

Our trained rescuers quickly secured the area and deployed the necessary equipment to extract the horse safely. Thanks to smooth coordination and specialised rescue techniques, the animal was removed from the pool without incident.

The operation was completed successfully and highlighted the expertise and professionalism of our intervention teams.

A positive outcome

Once out of danger, the horse was able to calmly return to its familiar environment. Today, it is doing perfectly well.

We would like to acknowledge the commitment of everyone involved in this unusual rescue. Their quick response and efficiency helped prevent what could have been a tragic outcome.
