SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. — A horse was rescued after slipping on a trail in California last week.
The Orange County Fire Authority shared a video showing the 25-year-old horse named Sobe being pulled from the trail in San Juan Capistrano last Friday.
Initially, crews tried to help the horse without a helicopter but they later determined it was necessary.
"Crews worked with a veterinarian and staff to get the horse out," the fire service said. "After an initial attempt to get him up, it was determined that a helicopter extraction was needed."
Sobe was taken to a riding center to be checked out by veterinarians. The fire service said he was walking on his own.
