Escambia Fire Rescue Comes To Aid Of Cantonment Horse
July 18, 2016
The Cantonment Station of Escambia Fire Rescue came to the aid of a horse that was unable to stand up Sunday at Panhandle Equine Rescue.
Sky, who just celebrated her 32nd birthday, had fallen and needed assistance from the firemen and PER volunteers. Once out of her stall, they were able to use a large animal lift that was recently purchased with donations.
“She is doing well right now and we are watching her closely. Prayers would be appreciated,” Panhandle Equine Rescue President Diane Lowery said. She also thanked the Escambia Fire Rescue members and the volunteers that assisted.
“They were awesome,” Lowery said.
The only horse rescue in Escambia County, Panhandle Equine Rescue was founded by a small group of concerned citizens with a mission to rescue, rehabilitate and provide adoption services for abused, neglected and abandoned equines. PER is authorized by the court system to investigate equine cruelty in Escambia County.

God bless you for helping Sky!! She is so precious!!
Bless the firefighters and rescue for being caring souls.
Maybe the heat got to her . She is an old horse, doing so well because of the care she has been given, but she is elderly. I need to fit this organization into my budget.
