A horse has been hoisted from a swimming pool by firefighters after an unfortunate fall.
Lola the mare was stranded in the murky water until crews from Botley came to her rescue.
A call came in around 10am today informing firefighters of the accident.
On arrival they found Lola stood in the pool but unable to get out.
A Manitou vehicle from Eastleigh and specialist Animal Rescue team from Winchester were called in to support the rescue.
A vet was on scene and sedated Lola so she could be lifted to safety.
She is now safe and well and back in a “neigh-bouring” field, said the fire service.
