Inspector Rosie Russon and animal collection officer Brian Milligan rushed out to the man’s house to assess the situation, and even though they knew what they were walking into, they were still shocked to see a giant horse paddling around a backyard swimming pool.

“She was clearly very cold,” Russon said in a press release. “The water was only around 1 [meter] deep so although it came only up to her stomach, she wasn’t able to get out of the pool on her own — and I was concerned about her getting hypothermia.”
