A fire service spokesperson said: "Luckily for him he was very calm and was seen by a vet quickly.

“He was then sedated and the vet allowed the firefighters to remove the panel from under him.

“After a short time he was able to walk out of the box where the vet was able to carry out a full check.”

The horse was calm and there was good team work with the owner, said the spokesperson.

"He is a little sore but will make a full recovery."
