Excuse me Miss, your horse is in my swimming pool
Reading my morning newspaper this morning and I was very surprised to see a photo of fellow Realtor Deborah Black trying to rescue one of her horses which wandered off and fell into a partially filled swimming pool near her Fountain City home.
Deborah is the one in the red T shirt shivering in the pool.
Personally I’ve never tried to coax a 1200 pound horse out of a swimming pool but I’m sure it took some imagination and some effort.
The Knoxville Fire Department, animal control workers, and some veterinarians from the University of Tennessee finally managed to lift the animal from the pool with the aid of a wrecker and a special rescue harness.
Deborah is a very accomplished horsewoman and riding instructor. She and her swimming horse “Look to the Mountain” have won tons of trophies over the years not only in the Knoxville area but all over the east coast.
Mountain is now retired from horse shows but apparently he’s thinking of starting a new career as a swimmer.
