Perhaps you heard about the herd of horses that were trapped for 3 days on a tiny piece of land in the Netherlands. The small piece of land was surrounded by water. Their natural instincts kept them from swimming to solid land from their tiny perch. There were about 100 horses huddled together against the wind and water. The Nation was mesmerized watching this drama as 18 of the horses perished, while others were slowly weakening. First the fire department, then the Dutch army, tried to rescue them. Both efforts were unsuccessful. Then, with a break in the weather, the water level went down. Four women hatched a plan to attempt a rescue by luring the horses into the water.

Here's a video of the successful rescue. I was very touched as I watched the video of these magnificent animals being saved. I hope you enjoy this uplifting video.  The video is off site, so click the link below.
