Firefighters save pony stuck in muddy bog with only her head and neck poking out

Daisy, a Welsh Mountain Pony, was stuck in a cold bog for up to 36 hours – she was eventually spotted by search teams who called in St Davids Fire and Rescue service for help

Firefighters are known to save cats from trees but freeing a pet pony from a sticky situation proved much more dramatic. Daisy, a Welsh Mountain Pony, was stuck in a deep muddy bog with only her neck and head poking out, before she was eventually rescued.

She had been missing for 36 hours and was getting weaker by the minute when she was finally spotted by search teams who had been unable to use a drone to find her because of high winds. Her owner had spent a day and a half combing Dowrog Common, in Pembrokeshire, South Wales without any luck before enlisting the help of locals to find her.

Eventually Nathan Walton from The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales stumbled on poor Daisy, stuck up past her shoulders and in distress.

They called in St Davids Fire and Rescue service, who along with local farmers teamed up to try and pull her out and eventually, with the help of a digger provided by local Dai Murphy, Daisy was winched to safety.
