'Sure-Footed' Horse Needs Help from Helicopter After Unexpected Accident
Mar. 15, 2025An afternoon getting to know his new surroundings turned into an unforgettable nightmare.
On Tuesday, Feb. 18, in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., a horse named Deuce and his owner, who had just moved to the area from Hawaii, slipped into a steep embankment. While both Deuce and his owner were uninjured, Deuce could not walk up and climb out of the brush-covered slope on his own.

The caption continued, “Deuce was exhausted for quite some time after the sedative wore off and had trouble standing up — with pressure mounting to get him to his feet as soon as possible to survive — so our Technical Rescue Firefighters delicately hoisted him with a specialized rigging system.”
“Thanks to a true team effort,” OCFA concluded. “Deuce is recovering in what the vet describes as ‘nothing short of a miracle’ and is looking forward to riding the trails of Orange County again!”
