3-month-old Horse Saved From Septic Tank
CITRA , Fla. (UPI) -- Firefighters reportedly rescued a young horse in Citra, Fla., after it fell into a septic tank and got stuck. Mary Rolka, who owns at least 30 horses, said the frisky colt, named Shooter, was born just three months ago and that his adventurous spirit comes from his mother, WFTV in Orlando, Fla., reported Wednesday. "Well, she likes to jump fences. So she always jumps fences and the only way the baby can be with her is to learn to jump fences too," Rolka said. When fire department officials arrived, Shooter's back end reportedly was the only visible part of him. "When they got him up and he stood on all four feet, 'Oh, he's gonna be OK! Thank God!'" Rolka said. The only treatment Shooter needed after his Tuesday adventure was time and salve for healing scrapes, WFTV reported. Copyright 2008 by United Press International
