One-year-old Howard became stuck at his stables near Duxford on Monday and Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Service officers said he had to be sedated whiel they worked to release him.

According to a social media post from his owner, Howard had broken some boards of a barn, getting himself wedged between the wall and a beam.

The fire service said: “He was able to be freed after an hour with only superficial injuries that will soon heal. No more playing hide and seek Howard!”
