Firefighters have helped to rescue a horse from the River Yeo in Hewish, near Congresbury.

The 12-year-old mare, called Molly, may have been in the water for a number of hours.

When crews arrived they assisted the owner of the field to get the horse out of the river, using ropes and a harness.

The horse was checked over by the RSPCA and none the worse for its ordeal.
