Two horses had to be rescued when the horse box they were in was stuck under a fallen tree earlier today.

The animals were unhurt after being released by a Yelverton Fire and Rescue crew this afternoon when their trailer suffered damage when wedged under the tree.

The incident took place in Mary Tavy.
