Four fire engines were called to reports of a horse stuck in a ditch in Earl Soham this afternoon.

Engines from Framlingham, Debenham, and two from Ipswich Princes Street were dispatched to Brandeston Road, where they found the horse stuck in a ditch at around 5.45pm.

The crews worked with a vet to safely release the animal from the mud-filled ditch.

This has now been completed, and a stop was called at 8.19pm.
