Tiny foal rescued after getting trapped under car
A TINY New Forest foal
was rescued by firefighters
after it became
jammed under a car.
Resident Veronica Harrison
raised the alarm and took a
mobile telephone photograph of
the stricken animal under the
parked Ford Ka at Thorney Hill.
"I think it must have just fallen
asleep and rolled under there. Typical foal," she said.
"It was absolutely stuck underneath
there. It was quite sensible
about the whole thing. Had he
panicked he could have pierced
his stomach. But he didn't struggle
or anything.
"I was with him about an hour."
Firefighters from Burley and
head agister Jonathan Gerrelli
attended the incident in Burley
Road.
Fire station watch manager
Graham Tucker said the foal
would not have got out without
help.
"We eased him out," he said.
"But we were ready to lift the car
off him."
The foal suffered grazes around
its eyes but was otherwise uninjured.
Its distraught mother had run
off when the firefighters turned
up, but a posse of men later
rounded her up with a couple of
other ponies and reunited her
with the foal.
"It was a happy conclusion," said Mr Tucker.
