I suspect that things happens in the great out doors strange things happen to animals all the time.
A total waste of to time and recourses the animal should have been put down and left there.

Seems to me it was good opportunity for the firefighters to hone their skills in a real “live” situation. Next time it most likely won’t be a horse. The Firefighters were going to be paid either way be it making a pot of chili back at the station or rescuing a horse. Donors are picking up the Vet bill. Were is the rub?
