Firefighters cut roof off horsebox to free horse trapped on breast bar

A two-year-old horse had to be cut from a horsebox by firefighters after he became stuck while trying to jump over a partition.

The bay had become wedged on top of a fixed breast bar in the rear-facing small lorry and could only be removed by cutting the roof off the box.

Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) were called to the scene at a yard in Isle Lane near Bicton in Shrewsbury at around 8.45am on Tuesday (17 July).
