Description: Major Horse Rescue At The Rock
Crews of The Rock, in an attempt to better identify with their friends on the Technical Rescue Team, perform a masterful (stuffed) horse rescue from the bushes in front of #2 on a cold night over the holidays.
While trotting down New Circle Road, Gallops became trapped in the bushes in front of The Rock. Crews have already secured her in a harness and are admisistering ALS care.
Despite her small size, Gallops gives the crews a difficult time despite their use of a 47-way double-compounded haul system.
Despite their best efforts, Gallops arrests (possibly due to a large dose of tranquilzers), and the EC8 crew begins resusitation efforts.
Whew, thankfully after three stacked shocks, Gallops converts and allows AJ to ride her around the block.
