Snowboarders rescue a horse in Chile

Rafael Pease was snowboarding in the mountains of Chile when he spotted a rock, and after closer inspection realised that it was a horse! The poor mare was stuck in the snow and couldn’t get out!

The horse would have died of hypothermia or of hunger had she not been rescued. Luckily, Rafael and his friend came to the rescue! They were simply in the right place at the right time. They cleared the snow around the mare’s legs, fed her and then led her home.

After four days in the snow, she was reunited with her owner and is recovering at home! They managed to get everything on the GoPro, so you can watch the rescue of the mare on the video.
