“I guess because of all the rain it just kind of sunk in and she happened to be there at the wrong time. She fell with her back end into the big ‘ol well,” Thiessen explained on The Brent Loucks Show.

Thiessen’s wife, who was returning home from Costco with him, called Brad’s Towing to help rescue the 1,600-pound horse. They also called a veterinarian who sedated Daisy and gave her painkillers.

Neighbours and friends also came over to help.

Thiessen said within 15 minutes, Daisy was able to walk back to the corral with only a little bruising and dehydration.
