A group of Alberta wild horse advocates are thanking their lucky stars for good timing after stumbling across a young filly that had stumbled chest-deep into a muddy bog for what they believed had been hours.
The group, who are a part of the Help Alberta Wildies Society, were able to rescue the 2-year-old horse, who had gotten stuck in the deep pit of mud and was unable to get herself back out again. Had they not gotten there in time, it’s believed that the horse would not have been able to survive on its own throughout the night, CBC reported.
