In October 2006, more than one hundred horses got trapped in a small patch of dry land as a result of a sudden flood in the Netherlands in which 18 horses drowned. All rescue attempts failed and the horses seemed to be getting desperate until four women decided to try a different approach.

    Beautiful, thanks. For Vangelis fans, the perfectly chosen score here is from the soundtrack to the movie, 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992). This piece is also available on the compilation album Odyssey.

    I am a sucker for good stories myself…it’s way better than listening to all the “top stories” on the news talking about the latest murder or crime sprees. Thanks for sharing this.
