Dramatic rescue saves horse from icy pond in New York

Horse Ice Rescue - (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

A horse that fell through the ice of an upstate New York pond was saved by rescuers who pulled together to free the animal from the frigid water.

Body-camera footage from responding officers shows the team of Saratoga Springs police and neighbors grunting and straining to pull Sly, a 1,300 pound (590 kilogram) horse, from a hole in the ice late Monday afternoon. Sly can be seen flailing his front legs while rescuers shout “One, two three, pull!” and “C'mon, baby. We got ya!”
