MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FL (CBS) - A horse had to be rescued from a deep ditch in Florida after it slipped off the road Tuesday morning.

The ditch was so deep the horse's head could barely be seen from above.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue tactical fire units used ropes and a strong sling to raise the horse up onto land a little before 11:00 a.m. eastern time.

The horse was greeted by either its owner or handler and other farm employees.

The horse was then seen being escorted back to its home on someone's property.
