Rugs ‘probably saved life’ of cob trapped neck-deep in bog

A cob had a lucky escape after becoming stuck in a bog up to her neck.

The mare, named Farrah, escaped from a grazing area on 5 February in Amlwch, Isle of Anglesey in North Wales, and sank into a bog.

Her owners called the RSPCA and a team from Wales attended, as well as a vet from Bodrwnsiwn Veterinary Practice and a local contractor.

“This poor horse was well and truly stuck in the bog up to her neck,” said RSPCA inspector Mark Roberts.
