June 18, 2010: Eurofloods
Many parts of Europe a experiencing severe flooding this summer, especially Poland and Spain.
Boston.com has pictures of these floods and the efforts to rescue people and animals. Getting a horse into an amphibious vehicle ain't easy.

You can lead a horse to the amphibious vehicle, but you can't make him climb in.

Ouch! Must be no fun at all with that kind of damage. Seems this guy got lucky, though - he almost looks like he's going to marry his catch

I'd think twice about putting a very upset 1,200 lb. horse, into a small open boat with me.

There is NO way they are going to get that horse into that boat.. The guy on the right is just standing in knee deep water. I think they are just getting it out of that cave.

looks like they made a ramp out of some boards leaned up against the boat over on the left, and the horse slipped off.

Good observation. Very plausible. Looks like the distance between the ramp and the "cave" wasn't enough for the horse to fit through.

Actually, they're trying to take the boat away from the horse. The horse is saying, "Hey, that's my boat."
