In this
photo released by Vermont State Police, a horse is seen accidentally taking an
icy plunge in a swimming pool in Dorset, Vt. Jet, a 6-year-old quarterhorse,
walked onto the frozen in-ground pool Thursday, Dec. 6, 2007, and broke through
six inches of ice into about 3 feet of water, becoming trapped. Rescuers broke
the ice in a corner of the pool and got a rope around the horse's neck, pulling
him to safety and wrapping him in a blanket. He was taken to a veterinarian and
treated for a cut to his left hind leg.
