A farmer tries his best to save the life of a captive horse after a woman stays with it for three hours.
The ocean can be unpredictable, as everyone who has ever been near it knows. The tide is something you should never undervalue since it can be dangerous if you’re in the wrong spot at the wrong time.
In a matter of seconds, the tide can engulf humans and animals, and in certain situations, it can cause a protracted and brutal death. Astro, an 18-year-old horse, nearly experienced this.
Nicole Graham, the owner of Astro, was riding her horse with her daughter on the beach close to Geelong, which is south of Melbourne, Australia. However, the ground beneath them eventually became a muddy death trap, and the horses ended up on soft sand.
While Nicole and Astro sunk farther into the mud, her daughter and her horse were able to escape. Astro quickly had clay up to his neck and was in danger of choking to death. Nicole fought alongside Astro for three hours in a life-or-death situation.
The situation became more dire the longer Astro stayed in the mud. Nicole had to maintain her 1,000-pound (450-kg) horse’s composure during this period to prevent him from being more buried in the muck. Astro was on the verge of choking after three hours and could have perished from exhaustion and thirst. Moreover, the tide was coming in.
Thankfully, Nicole’s daughter managed to phone for assistance and find safety. A rescue crew and a veterinarian eventually showed up on the scene. The veterinarian gave Astro a tranquil injection to prevent him from panicking. Throughout his suffering, Nicole remained by Astro’s side, soothing him with conversation. Astro was buried so deep in the muck that it was impossible to wrap a rope around him to raise him to safety, so even though a helicopter was called, it was unable to help.
while the tide drew near, Nicole started to worry about the worst while the rescue crew fought to free Astro. The dirt, which had turned into quicksand, was too soft for the team to dig out the horse.
After then, a farmer pulled up on his tractor and made a last-ditch effort to release the horse using a rope fastened to his car.
Then the miraculous happened: Astro was rescued from the muck by Nicole, the rescuers, and the farmer.
Take a look at this amazing rescue:

This was the first time one of Nicole’s ten horses had become trapped, despite the fact that she frequently rides them down the beach.
Luckily, things went smoothly this time, but this incident demonstrates that being extra cautious doesn’t harm.
Above all, this story demonstrates the amazing love that exists between humans and their animals and the power of that link to perform actual miracles!
