Description: Veterinarian on scene with horse down in field requesting equipment/ideas for lift assist. Horse ended up getting up on it's own with manual assist on scene. After speaking with Vet, Lori was working on reaching possible equipment operator in the area to come to the scene. The Vett called back and said horse began to get up on its front legs and so the 6 or so people there manually (by hand) helped lift and support the back end until horse could steady itself. They covered it and Lori suggested trying to rub its legs for a bit before trying to move it back to the barn so it wouldn't go down again. Vet also made sure it had pain meds. So no call went out on the app to the team.
Volunteers: Just Lori over the phone.
