To prevent the unconscious horse from panicking and going straight back in, they slid Stormy far away from the pool’s edge. Then the veterinarian examined Stormy and found that he only had a few bumps and bruises, and was expected to make a full recovery.
Despite being fully soaked, the outcome could have been much worse, and it is uncertain if the horse is aware of his fortunate escape. Georgia and her family were overjoyed to see their pet safe and sound, and they thanked the Mesa Fire Department and the veterinarian for their heroic efforts.
