Technical rescue officers from West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service were called to a farm off Winterpit Lane just before 5.30pm, and moved the animal from the mud to firmer ground.

Using strops and a tractor they then helped the horse to its feet.

It was then walked to the stables and left in the care of its owner and the vet.
