Four horses were saved after being trapped for hours in the frigid weather by a group of neighbors, firefighters, and animal control officers. <\/p>\n

After the four horses fell through the ice and became trapped up to their necks in Patrick Creek, Montana, the South Kalispell Fire Department was called to the site. <\/p>\n

Amber Countryman posted a video showing the rescuers’ many unsuccessful attempts to free the horses, culminating in the deployment of a tractor to provide the necessary \u2018horse power\u2019 to free them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Twelve people, including firemen, county animal control workers, and concerned citizens, collaborated to set the horses free. <\/p>\n

They improvised pontoons out of shipping pallets and other pieces of wood in an early attempt to construct a ramp. <\/p>\n

They tried to save one horse by pulling it out of the water with a long rope, being careful not to break any of the animal’s legs, but ultimately failed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All four horses were successfully extracted using a tractor and a harness. <\/p>\n

All of them were taken to a vet clinic and given medical attention.<\/p>\n
