Boulder County crews rescue horse from mud

Boulder County crews rescued a horse and its owner from the mud two weeks ago, and thankfully the horse continues to recover.

Flashback: The horse, a 26-year-old warmblood mare named Sweetie, got stuck on Aug. 28 in the 6200 block of Plateau Road in north Boulder County.

• The horse's owner also got stuck trying to free the horse.
• Rescue crews were able to get Sweetie and her owner out safely.

The latest: Veterinarians were concerned about Sweetie due to her age. But when Boulder County animal control officers checked on her last week, she was doing well, according to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office.
