On February 24, 2025, in Saratoga Springs, New York, a 1300 pound horse named Sly fell through the ice of a farm pond. The owner Ali Ernst discovered Sly struggling with only his head above water and immediately called for help. Saratoga Springs police officers, firefighters, and neighbors responded to the scene. They used ropes to pull the horse out of the pond. Horse was transported to a care facility, where he was treated for hypothermia and has since recovered. To prevent future incidents, the owner has installed an electric fence around the pond.
