A horse in a boarding facility outside of Edmonton slipped through the ice into a freezing pond. It is cold, but not cold enough to form thick ice. When she was found she was vey cold and just barely hanging on. With the help of the people on hand and a quick response from Firefighters they were able to pull her from the water. She has suffered hypothermia and shock, but with care she will recover.

I am so glad they found the horse in time. It would be sad to think of a horse dying like that, alone in freezing waters. This happens every year. Ponds look frozen and can even support your weight for a short time. Then the ice gives out and you are fully immersed.
It is hard to get out of the water and the cold saps the strength. She is one lucky horse. Her owners must be so happy that they were able to save her.
