Rescue workers, local vet step in to save trapped horse Call it a horse tale with a happy ending. On the evening of Feb. 3, Goochland County Fire Rescue and Goochland County Animal Protection responded to a call about an animal in distress. Upon arriving at the scene, first responders discovered a horse that had become trapped between two barn doors and mired in mud. According to rescuers the animal had been struggling for approximately an hour and was cold and exhausted. Fortunately, Dr. Katie Huffman of Little Hawk Farm—a former fire rescue volunteer herself--arrived and sedated the horse, buying rescuers time to rig a harness and pull the horse from the mud. After the sedation wore off, the horse was assisted to its feet and did not appear to have any injuries.
