FIRE crews from Hampshire rushed to rescue a miniature horse which is trapped after falling into a sewer pipe.
The 250-kilogram animal remained stuck in the 1.5-metre pipe for just over three hours while an animal rescuer and firefighters worked together to remove the horse.
The tiny horse has not sustained any injuries.
