Firefighters rescued a pony after it accidentally fell into a swimming pool in the early hours of the morning.
The pony had managed to wander into the garden of the property unattended.
Crews used a 'skid' to help lift the pony back out of the pool.
The pony has avoided serious injury, but was left in the care of a vet as a precaution.
The incident took place at roughly 5.15am on Coalhill Lane, Chelmsford.
