The recent cold weather brings risks for humans and animals alike.

 A horse was rescued after being stranded in the middle of a frozen pond in Augusta, just east of Wichita on Wednesday. Crews from Andover Fire and Rescue put on ice suits and used ropes and slings to retrieve the horse from the pond. The animal did not break through the ice but was unable to walk off on her own. The horse was exhausted from her ordeal but is now resting comfortably and is expected to make a full recovery.
