A Maine horse was rescued after becoming trapped in a mud hole in Norway over the weekend.

The horse named Dancer and its rider had slid down an incline into a mud hole on Sunday, according to a post on the Casco Fire Rescue Facebook account. It took around four hours to free the horse, and an excavator was called in to pull the animal from the mud.
