Police officers rescued miniature horse stuck in cattle grid

Deputies from the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office found themselves making an unusual rescue early on Wednesday morning. A miniature horse somehow got herself stuck in a cattle grid built into a road outside Clarkdale, Arizona.
It was still dark, so drivers were apparently having a hard time seeing the horse. Enlisting the help of a ranch hand and neighbor in the area, YCSO deputies worked to free the little horse.
Although the use of a tractor was considered to help lift the animal, they decided to attempt lifting her out by hand, using straps placed under her mid-section. Luckily, the effort was a success.
Rescuers learned her name was "Coffee" and that she lived on a ranch in the area. The ranch hand returned her to a secure area on the ranch. A large-animal vet arrived a short time later to check on Coffee’s injury. Coffee had a minor flesh wound on one of her legs, apparently caused when she fell into the grid. But otherwise, she was fine.
