Family In Illinois Finds Horse In Their Basement

There are all sorts of things homeowners can expect to find in their basement, like cobwebs, old toys, and even a leaky pipe. One thing they don’t expect to find down there is a horse.

A family in Illinois couldn’t believe their eyes when a horse turned up in their basement. It had apparently been walking outside the house when it fell through a window well and landed in the basement. The very confused animal suffered some small cuts but was otherwise OK, aside from being very confused. Meanwhile, it’s very difficult to coax a horse out of your basement, so a large animal rescue team from Missouri had to be called in to help. They were able to very carefully walk the horse up the basement stairs into the kitchen, and then led it out through a sliding door where it was met by a veterinarian.
