Have you heard about the horses who were trapped for 3 days on a tiny piece of land in wind and rain in the Netherlands ? Apparently it had the nation mesmerized, watching about 100 horses huddle against the wind and having to watch 18 of them die. First firemen, then the Dutch army, tried to rescue them - both unsuccessfully.
So 4 WOMEN on horseback rode out to the rescue. Here's a video of it.
