Sea Horse

An unfortunate pony fell down a cliff face in Wales and was trapped in the cold water in a small rocky cove. The pony would certainly have drowned but for the rescue efforts of the local RNLI lifeboat crew.

Here's the video:



And here's the article from the Telegraph newspaper:

Two lifeboat crews were involved in the rescue after the animal became stuck on a tiny shale beach surrounded by rough waters in Ceibwr, Moylegrove on Sunday morning.

Using a head collar from the pony's owner, two crew members waded to the rescue.

After several failed attempts to capture the frightened animal, they managed to harness it and lead it out of the cove swimming behind a lifeboat.

However, upon reaching Ceibwr beach the tired animal broke free once more prompting another round of dangerous attempts to ensnare it.

Once recaptured the pony was loaded into a waiting horsebox and driven back to her owner's farm to recover from her ordeal. 

A very lucky pony.
