Horse gets head stuck in tree
Horse gets head stuck in tree A horse had to be cut free with a chainsaw after it managed to get its head stuck in a tree. The horse, called Gracie, was unable to free itself and could have been in danger were it not for a passer-by who was able to come to the rescue after he heard the horse whinnying. |  The young filly needed to be freed from the tree after curisoty got the better of her and she wedged her head between separate sections of the trunk. |
Mr Harschbarger collected his tools and was able to carefully set the horse free by using a chainsaw to slowly cut the wood around its neck.
However, before he did so, he was able to take a few photographs.
Fortunately for Gracie, she was able to escape her ordeal with only a few minor injuries and, according to Mr Harschbarger, is on the road to recovery.
Following his rescue operation, Mr Harschbarger told a local television station: "She has a few cuts on her face and ear.
"Last I heard her jaw was a little dislocated but I think it is healing up and she can eat on her own again."
It remains unclear why Gracie put her head into the gap.
