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.

That's it?

Oh, geez, Mookay. You want something more exciting, maybe with relevance to contemporary events? Fine, how about:

Maybe the horse was hiding from Sarah Palin...

Jason Harschbarger, May our maker of the horse bless you and give you many times in a long and important live to do what your good heart knows. I have never seen an ugly horse. I have seen old, poor, sick health/mentally abused by lower than whale dung in the further most bottoms of the oceans have many times by some of the ugliest horse abusing beings that ever took a breath. Our maker blessed you with a heart of which you use for his purpose.

To give thought as to why the horse got his head hung in the forks of a tree and as the pic shows Gracie sitting on her hind quarters upon the ground. I think this. I am a lover of all equines and amoung other farm animals. The horse does not appear to be skinny from no food. Horses are curious beings and also forage on pastures and saplings and tree branches. Due to Gracies lower elevation as pics, she may have been reaching upwards towards leaves and lost footing because of a limb, rock, or even a urien spot from before. Horses rare up to get heigth.

This very curios horse "Gracie" should hook-up with the horse "Fat Boy" that fell in a pool after getting drunk by eating/drinking fermented apples...!

Mookay you are an idiot! Try too be more compassionate. What if you got your head stuck in a tree? Would I help you? NO!

The curiosity of the creature is to be laughed at and to be enjoyed. When people who don't care, take time to make a comment it shows how insensitive some of us have become.

We need to take time to laugh and enjoy the small thinkgs in life---not just the big events!

Gee Mookay,Maybe you'd like to entertain the folks with the picture your sister took of you stuck in the vacuum cleaner when you were 13? Better buy her some chocolates again!

To Mookie:
What if you were im a bad car accident and was left trapped in the wreck.Would you want passerbys to take the same attitude you took about this poor horse? I have two horses and would want someone to be compassionate enough to care about them.Shows how immature you really are.

Mooky. It would be more interesting if you had your head stuck in a tree. I wonder if your mother would even help you out. I bet your a Republican that does not even care about pepole.

Hey Mookay

I just bought my first horse and he is just a baby. if he did something silly it wouldnt be his fault. and those of us with opposable thumbs should be kind enough to help because i bet at least one of us has gotten a limb stuck in something.

What I want to know is HOW someone """carefully set the horse free by using a CHAINSAW to slowly cut the wood around its neck."""

A CHAINSAW??? Poor horse must have been scared to DEATH!!!!!!!

Horses HATE loud noises!!!

Mookay,

You are about one of the most stupid persons taking up the air God made. Any animal that was in danger should be helped. And thinking that a drunk horse in a pool in funny, you needed to stop taking up space on this earth. what a waste of flesh.

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

ok Mookie is pretty mean, but why are some of you guys calling him a Republican, even someone said you must not care about people because you are a Republican? What kind of idiotic statement is that? Do you know who the first Republican was? Funny thing is noone called them on there hateful speech, but everyone was yelling at Mookie for being mean to the poor filly....I guess then if you do care you're a Democrat (but then would you call Republican's non caring if you were a caring person?)..hmm..yeah it doesn't make sense!

mookay where you never curious about some thing and it got you into a spot of trouble. ok assuming you have just like everyone else. you are no better than any other creature on this god given earth. so i say to you get a reality check.and grow up show some compassion.

I think the main point of Mookey's post was.. is this really newsworthy?

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

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!
