Horse Got Head Stuck in Tree

Gracie the horse got a nasty surprise when curiosity got the better of her and she decided to check out a gap in a tree trunk:

The horse, called Gracie, was unable to free itself and could have been in danger were it not for a passer-by who was able to come to the rescue after he heard the horse whinnying .
Jason Harschbarger, a neighbour in the town of Pullman, West Virginia, USA, arrived at the scene which resembled the image of Winnie the Pooh getting stuck in the honey tree.
Mr Harschbarger collected his tools and was able to carefully set the horse free by using a chainsaw to slowly cut the wood around its neck.
However, before he did so, he was able to take a few photographs.

As horse owners that have lost a horse that got it's head caught in a forked tree we know how sad it is and how very lucky this beautiful creature and it's owner were that another came along and helped. We trimmed/cut down that tree and every other tree that was forked so as to not lose any more animals and continue when ever we have one growing that way. It's sad that in this day of sooooo much information available "literally at 'our' fingertips" so many people prefer to make unknowleged comments. This one article may have saved many other horses and cows from the same fate. Don't just complain, stop and see what you can do to help!
