Sacto Firefighters Rescue Horse Stuck In Bathtub

ORANGEVALE (CBS/AP) -- A Sacramento horse is up and about Friday, after getting stuck in a bathtub.

Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District spokeswoman Capt. Michelle Eidam says the horse was dancing around in her stall Thursday, protecting her food trough when she suddenly fell in Wednesday. Her food trough is a bathtub.

The horse, named Phantom, was completely stuck in the bathtub for about 25 minutes with her feet up in the air. Her owner saw the horse fall and called the fire department.

A rescue crew responded to the scene and between the firefighters and the family, they were able to prop the bathtub on its side and pull Phantom forward onto her feet.

Phantom, a Palomino/Appaloosa mix, was not injured.
