Traveler the horse rescued from a bog!

Traveler, the horse escaped from the Carousel Horse farm in Casco, and it wandered into a half-frozen bog, partially sinking itself. Lake Region Animal Control Officer, Jessica Jackson responded to the scene. Jackson, the horses owner and two other people of the public helped tie straps around the horse, then used fence panels and blankets to get the horse back to solid ground.

Lake Region Animal Control shared photos of the rescue on Facebook.

“Traveler is expected to be OK,” the post said. “This is what we train for!”
