Firefighters, with an assist from LA Animal Services, successfully dug out a horse that was trapped in a narrow wedge in Sylmar Sunday.

The report of a trapped horse outside 14525 Olive View Drive, near Olive View-UCLA Medical Center, was called in around 5:05 p.m., said Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart.

Around 5:40 p.m., firefighters were able to toss a rope around the horse and walk it out of the wedge, Stewart said.

The horse did not appear hurt, Stewart said.
