They say curiosity killed the cat. It didn't do this poor filly any favours either.

When she managed to squeeze her head into a hole in a tree she had been keen for a good nose around.


Horsing Around: The curious filly, called Gracie, caught in the tree


She suffered only minor injuries after being cut free with a chainsaw
The only problem was she couldn't get it out again. Tired of trying, and stuck fast, she looked as silly as Winnie the Pooh with his head in the honey pot.

Finally, neighbour Jason Harschbarger heard her dismayed whinnying across the fields in Pullman, West Virginia, and came to her rescue.

Gracie, as the horse is called, was left with a dislocated jaw and a few cuts and scrapes from her ordeal.

The tree, however, was considerably worse for wear.

Mr Harschbarger had to resort to a chainsaw to cut Gracie free.
He said: 'She has a few cuts on her face and ear.

'Last I heard her jaw was a little dislocated but I think it is healing up and she can eat on her own again.'

I guess that's what happens when you start horsing around!

Aww what a shame, lucky she had the sense to keep prey still. Most would have panicked and thrashed about, possibly breaking thier neck or back.
Lucky too she can eat now with a dislocated jaw, she deffo is a very lucky filly indeed.

Aww bless, poor horsey, she must of been really uncomfortable and distressed stuck in that position and wondering what the hell was going on! Dont think she will do that again in a hurry! and it will teach her not to be so nosey! wonder what she was looking for? LOL

On the other hand, although this is a funny sight to see, ( from the back anyway lol ) I am a great animal lover and hate to see them in distress.

Thankgod for the guy who came to rescue her !!

The horse in question obviously resides in Wales, which explains why she firmly planted her backside on the ground once she got her head stuck. She must have been tipped off by the local sheep !!!!!!!!!
