Firefighters were called to the scene to help the steed who fell into the swimming pool and got stuck in the winter cover.

A representative from the Bohemia Fire Department said that the horse had been trying to walk over the pool but was proved to be too heavy to make it over successfully.

They said on Facebook: "Crews from both agencies worked together to move the horse to the shallow end of the water and freed her from the cover."

The equine was guided towards and up the stairs and did not appear to be hurt by the ordeal.
