SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. (KABC) -- A horse was rescued after it fell 60 feet down a ravine at Caspers Regional Park in San Juan Capistrano Monday.
Video captured the 8-year-old horse, Lola, getting hoisted to safety by a helicopter.
The rider says she jumped off after the horse began to buck. The horse then fell about 60 feet down a ravine.
Due to tough terrain, the horse couldn't be walked out.
After a veterinarian sedated her, an Orange County Fire Authority technical rescue team used its helicopter to hoist the horse to a safe location and reunite her with her owner.
The owner was not injured.
