Terrified Farmer Asks Stuck Horse Not To Die, Suddendly She Gains The Strength To Stand Up
By Dreamer
Marek Slodkowski went inside his barn one day and immediately his heart fell into his stomach. His beloved horse, named freedom, was trapped inside of a maintenance pit. For about 13 years, Slodkowski has been raising horses and in all of those 13 years has he never seen anything like this.
To help get the horse get out, Slodkowski started to fill the pit with hay. He believed that if he stuffed enough inside that that would give Freedom the height to push herself out. When that failed, he decided to call the fire department.
The workers came out in droves. They tried using rope to lift Freedom out, but they weren’t strong enough. Slodkowski was devastated. Hour after hour, Freedom became more and more exhausted.
“Don’t die. Don’t die,” he whispered to her, as he stroked her mane. Freedom looked like she was drifting off, tired of fighting. The firemen tried and tried again to save the horse. They were out of ideas, and all Slodkowski could do was comfort his baby.
“It will be OK,” he whispered to her. “It will be OK,” he said stroking her head, as she lay lifelessly. Then something amazing happened. It was like Freedom had been struck with an idea on her own. Freedom got back up on her feet after hours of being unable to stand.
She began to use her front legs to pull herself and her hind legs to push up. Then firemen saw what she was doing and worked with her. Using rope they scooted her behind, giving her the push she needed to hop up. Slodkowski was stunned, telling the veterinarian that he really thought “This is it, she’s going to die.”
What an amazing story!
