Watch: GUARDIA Civil in Spain’s Asturias don their skis to rescue a horse trapped by a snowstorm

Guardia Civil of the Special Mountain Intervention Rescue Groups (GREIM) of Cangas de Onis in Austria, performed a heart-warming rescue in the midst of unprecedented snowfall and driving winds brought by Storm Filomena.

In a touching video published on the Guardia Civil Twitter feed on Wednesday, January 14, officers can be seen approaching the mare on skis – there is nothing for miles around but a blanket of snow. The agents pulled a large sack of hay up the mountain and the horse gratefully tucked in.
