The Fire Department and Malvern EMS were called to help after the young horse apparently became curious and walked on to the pond, then fell through the ice.

Emergency crews worked with the horse's owner and others to break up the ice to create a path for the horse to be pulled out.

The horse was taken back to his barn and checked out by a veterinarian.

The horse is expected to be okay.
