LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) - Three horses are safe after being rescued from a pair of narrow trenches near Loveland.
Firefighters from the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority got some help from a nearby construction crew in freeing the animals on Wednesday. The workers from American Civil Constructors, who had been repairing a flood damaged road, used an earth mover to dig the horses out.
Firefighters lowered a dividing board so two horses near the earth mover wouldn’t be able to see the work being done.
The Loveland Reporter-Herald (https://bit.ly/1unzQ8S ) reports that none of the horses were injured during the rescue west of Horsetooth Mountain Park, which lasted more than three hours.
