A horse weighing about 1,100 pounds (approx. 499 kg) was stuck in thick mud after the ground gave way. His owner tried her best to keep his head above the thick mud, refusing to give up on him and holding on to him for about three hours. Finally, the rescue team thought of a way to pull the trapped horse out before the rising tide came rushing in.

Nicole Graham was riding her horse along with her daughter on Feb. 26, 2012, when suddenly, the ground gave way. The mother and daughter managed to get out, but the poor horse was stuck in the mud at Avalon Beach in Geelong, Australia.
