An Arabian horse named Ashley accidently fell into a small ditch this week when she decided to walk away too far from her home.
Wandering here and there in the California equestrian community where she lives, Ashley decided to have some rest and lie down in a small drainage ditch, CBS Los Angeles reported.
But while settling down and taking a break, Ashley most probably fell over and her legs went on her, leaving her stuck in the ditch and unable to get up again.
That's when firefighters from the Ventura County Fire Department were right away called to the scene.
The sum of rescue was documented on Twitter, showing the case and how the firefighters stayed with Ashley and amazingly kept her calm by stroking her head until vets arrived to lend a hand with the rescue.
It's unknown if Ashley managed to run away from her stable or if she was left to freely wander on her own. Captain Mike Lindbery, a public information officer with the Ventura Fire Department said.
Ashley was finally tranquilized so she could be physically moved out of the ditch trap. Once she was left, she was right away medically cleared. She suffered only from few scrapes on her body from the entire rescue.

Sometimes, you have to step in and do the best you can do to save other lives and animals' lives in particular because they don't have voices and they can't speak for themselves. That what happened when a courageous
man used his surfboard to rescue the stuck horse.
What this man did was very inspiring and heartwarming; you will be totally amazed by what he did. In New South Wales, Australia, strong violent storms hit the place, and it caused massive flooding, it also caused damages across the region, and sadly it caused many natural disasters. About four deaths reported after those violent storms, and around 200,000 homes without power.
