18 horses were trapped in a mire in Xinjiang, northwestern China and firemen pulled the horses out with nearly 3 hours of rescue.<br /><br />In the video filmed on April 3 in Tacheng District, 18 horses fell into the mud with most of their body trapped. Ten firemen came to the scene and wrapped the horses' upper body with a rope and slowly dragged them out of the puddle, but failed as the animals were too heavy.<br /><br />Afterwards, the firefighters found a steel wire net nearby and built a simple pontoon, then they successfully dragged nine horses from the mud in the puddle. Then they used a tractor and dragged the horses from above the bunker, finally getting all horses out of the mud.<br /><br />It’s reported that those horses fell into the mud when drinking water. The video is provided by the local fire department.
