Heroic bystander saves drowning horse in dramatic sea rescue

A showing producer saved a drowning horse who had unseated his rider and swam out to sea, in a dramatic beach rescue earlier this week.

Will Chatley of Standinghat Stud & Show Team was at Hayling Island beach in Hampshire on Monday evening when he spotted a loose horse in the sea.

“It was low tide and I was at the beach with three horses from my yard. I went for a walk on the sandbank with my dog and I saw a horse in the distance swimming out,” Will told H&H.
