On September 19, the day was spent frantically trying to gather resources to remove two yearlings -- one
horse and one mule -- from chest-deep water.
Three obstacles hindered this rescue and others further -- finding an Anderson Sling, a helicopter and an experienced
airlift team to lift the animals from the water. Eventually we received a sling from the American Humane Association and
an outstanding airlift team from California was brought in.
The horse and mule were saved before the team
arrived from California.
