HACIENDA HEIGHTS - County firefighters received a call shortly after 6PM from a bicyclist reporting a horse trapped 3-foot concrete pipe in Turnbull Canyon. It is puzzling to the rescuers how the horse got stuck inside the pipe, which had only 3 feet of vertical clearance and was in a 5-foot-deep drainage ditch. The cyclist calmed the horse until rescuers arrived, then stood nearby and watched until the rescue was completed. LA County USAR Firefighters placed a harness around the animal and used mats, a sled and a winch to pull it out of the culvert. The rescue operation shut down Turnbull Canyon Road for about 2 hours. The horse suffered some cuts, scrapes and bruises, but was not seriously injured. The 18 minute videotape shows the horse in the pipe, the bicyclist calming the animal and arriving Firefighters rigging the harness and pulling the horse out of the culvert. Also included is a sound bite from a LA County Fire Battalion Chief and the cyclist who found the horse and notified authorities.questrian rescue, man with cell phone saves horse. Pony in a pipe
