Horse stuck in mud sparks seven-hour rescue mission

An elderly horse stuck waist deep in mud has triggered a full-scale rescue mission at a property in Sydney’s north west.

Operation horse float was launched to pull Mishnah the mare from a very cold creek.

Suspended in mid-air with mud-covered hooves, 35-year-old Mishnah was carefully hoisted to safety.

Cheers marked the finish of a seven-hour operation.

Scott Hayward from Fire and Rescue NSW said they planned to walk the horse out of the creek but it didn’t work.
