Horse Rescue Photos

A ray of sunlight hits a herd of horses stuck on a small knoll in Marrum, Netherlands, Friday, Nov. 3, 2006. Rescue workers saved the herd of around 100 horses that had been stranded on a tiny knoll since a fierce storm hit three days ago in an incident that has transfixed the nation. Many of the animals spent three nights knee-deep in water, and 18 drowned.
