Nikki Veen said her local community on Skye rallied around the rescue of her Irish Cob O'Malley.
Nikki, who has worked with horses since she was a young girl growing up in Holland, said O'Malley had helped her through her own ordeals, including her ongoing recovery from injuries in a motorbike accident that happened more than 30 years ago.
With help from neighbours, Nikki managed to get some straps under O'Malley in preparation for an effort to pull him out.Nikki said: "By chance Colin, a digger driver, arrived to service my digger. That was a miracle." More straps were placed under O'Malley and he was carefully lifted out of the septic tank using a digger.
"He stood on his back legs immediately and he gave everyone a 'woffle' - him saying a thank you to everyone for helping him - and can I get some food now," said Nikki.Nikki said his rescue was thanks to her local community and the "amazing" efforts of Dunvegan fire service.
