Update Complete Animal Rescue -; INC#0605; 01:58PM; 11770 W Foothill Bl; http://bit.ly/2ZiY8cA; Hansen Dam; LAFD ground crews worked for nearly 2 hours to manually free the 14 year-old (now determined to weigh) ~ 1000 lb male Peruvian Paso horse that was trapped to his belly in thick mud at a remote area of the Hansen Dam Recreation Area. The horse appears to be (and the uninjured female rider strongly concurs) in minimal distress. LA Animal Services SMART (Specialized Mobile Animal Rescue Team) is now on site, as is a Veterinarian summoned by the rider to examine the horse, as Firefighters prepare to decontaminate the mud-covered equine, rider and responders. *Some images* for media use will be posted under Creative Common license at our LAFD Flickr gallery: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lafd/albums; FS 98; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 7; Dispatched LAFD Units: BC12 E288 E298 E98 HR3 RA874 RA898 RA98 T88 T98 UR88; - Brian Humphrey
