This event took place in Loughor Estuary in southern Wales, which is home to wild horses.
The rescue crew realized that the mare couldn’t free her hoof on her own, no matter how much she tried.
What was extra heartbreaking was that she had a foal on her side, who was helpless and panicking.
Obviously, the foal must have been terrified seeing her mother in such a situation!
The RSPCA took this into account and waited a while to see how it turned out. But it was soon obvious that the situation wasn’t going to end well if they let let it play out.
The foal was nervous at first, but soon realized that the humans were there to help her mother.
Watch the wonderful rescue here:

Horses are majestic, noble animals. But they also end up in trouble sometimes and need help.
That’s why I’m so happy to see organizations like RSPCA fighting hard to save animals every day.
Last year alone, the organization managed to save 129,602 wild animals! That’s definitely worth sharing, don’t you think?
