What a brilliant piece of film! The music is by Vangelis - from the film '1492' - forgettable film but great music!! |

Thanks for that, Sheila. The solution was so brilliantly simple, wasn't it? SHOW the horses what to do and that they would come to no harm and they would do it. After their friends and family drowned, it wasn't surprising that they didn't want to set a hoof in the water. Anyone know where the herd came from or went to? |

The horses were in Marrum, 90 miles north east of Amsterdam. There was submerged barbed wire so fire fighters and animal rescue workers waded out and plotted a route before the women went out to save them. One horse failed to follow but was brought to safety by workers. It collapsed and needed veterinary treatment. A complaint has been lodged against the horse owners who failed to heed the storm warnings! Chris |

Thanks for the information, Chris. I've watched the clip several times now and think it's a great pity that we don't see good news on the TV more often. I'm sure there's plenty of it. It's all the more a piece of good news when it's realised how extra dangerous the episode really was with barbed wire in the water. |
