Horse falls into owners’ basement

Sun County Meadows, Colorado - Authorities in Colorado said it took about 4 hours to free a horse that fell into a window well and into a basement, but the animal was not seriously hurt. Cory Stark, director of emergency management for Elbert County, and Elbert County Sheriff Shayne Heap said the horse plunged into the large window well, which may have been obscured by tall weeds, and into the basement. Rescuers said the 1,100-pound horse, named Summer, was brought out of the basement about 4 hours later after they excavated dirt from the window well to bring the sedated animal back out the way she came.  More
