Heroic deed in St. Pölten: Horse Rico gets up again after falling!
In the riding stable in St. Pölten-Pottenbrunn, Lower Austria, the volunteer fire brigade was remarkable on June 6, 2025. A 34-year-old horse named Rico, who has been looked after by his owner Alexandra for 22 years, had fallen in his box and could not upset himself. The alarmed fire brigade and a veterinarian immediately became on site to help Rico and to give him a safe return to his feet. This reports Fireworld.
Thanks to the collaboration between fire brigade and the veterinarian, Rico, who remained cooperative and calm throughout the process, was brought into a better position. The emergency services worked closely with Alexandra to ensure that Rico received the support he needed. After successful relocation, the horse finally got up on its own and luckily remained unharmed. Precedent veterinary care continues.
Gratitude and support in animal welfare
Alexandra was very grateful for the rapid and professional help of the fire brigade and everyone involved. Such operations illustrate the important role that animal welfare and support for emergencies play in the life of animals. The association is devoted to a similar concern horseshilfe.de that offers various options for supporting animals and their care.
The association is financed by membership fees, sponsorships and donations. These forms of support are not only important in order to secure the running costs of the care, but also to help small animal welfare associations and grace yards in Germany and beyond that urgently need support. Donations for unwanted animals and horses that can no longer be used are particularly in demand.
