Firefighters were called to the rescue of a shire horse today, who had got his foot stuck in a gate today (April 12).
Crews from Scarborough responded to the call at 12pm in Staintondale.
The two-year-old shire horse, Ollie, had his rear foot stuck in a five bar gate.
A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the crews stood by while Ollie was sedated by a vet and then released his foot using hydraulic spreaders.
They confirmed that Ollie was left unharmed in the care of his owners.
