A pony is now safe and sound after getting tangled in trees in Clifton – prompting a rescue by the fire service.

Crews from Shefford & Kempston were called on Wednesday night (January 9) to reports of a pony stuck in some trees on New Road.

Thanks to some “gentle persuasion to walk backwards” from Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue, she got out unharmed and was given the all-clear after a once over from the vet.
