Horse Trapped In Dumpster Gets Amazing Rescue - Inspirational Videos

It was a heart-pounding situation when first responders stepped in to rescue a horse trapped in dumpster. Rodeo the Horse found himself in a terrifying ordeal when he slipped out of his stable in Huntington Beach, California. From there, he stepped off of a platform that was lined with dumpsters. Because each of the dumpsters had lids overtop, Rodeo assumed that they were solid. However, when he stepped onto one of the large bins, he fell right through. Rodeo was instantly trapped in the dumpster with no way to get out on his own.

Thankfully, there were other people around during the incident and they immediately called the authorities. But removing the horse from the dumpster wasn’t going to be simple. Firefighters had to use a harness system to lift Rodeo up and out of the bin and entire process took over 2 hours to complete. During this time, horse lovers in the area united to make sure that Rodeo remained calm during the whole ordeal. They offered him gentle pets and encouraging words so he would not panic. One reporter commented on the situation by saying, “There was a lot that could have gone wrong. This horse could have gotten seriously hurt. Thankfully, thanks to first responders, it’s okay.”

This is definitely an unusual situation for everyone involved but I’m so glad that Rodeo was safely removed without injury. Even though this isn’t something these first responders see everyday, they did not hesitate to take action and save this majestic animal.
