Datteln Firefighters Free ‘Pirat’ After Stall-Window Ordeal

The horse had been placed on veterinarian-ordered stall rest, which it apparently tried to evade.

Overview

  • Pirat became lodged in a stall window in Datteln after attempting to escape confinement ordered by a veterinarian.
  • Responders arrived to find the horse’s front legs outside and hind legs still inside the stall.
  • Firefighters worked with a veterinarian to secure the animal using hoses and a tractor before administering anesthesia.
  • The team carefully lifted and rotated the horse through the opening, while the THW stood by but was not needed to enlarge the window.
  • Pirat later woke from anesthesia and was reported to be well after a calming reunion with its owner.
