Firefighters have released a pregnant horse that fell into a sinkhole.

Crews dug a trench and created a ramp to release the 10-year-old mare from the two-metre-deep hole in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.

The mare, which was seven months pregnant, was later checked by a vet and found to be fit and well.

Bucks Fire and Rescue said the operation in Wooburn Green Lane, Holtspur, on Sunday was an "outstanding team effort".
