Horse found wedged in a tree put down
A horse that was found wedged in a tree Wednesday had to be put down by its owner. Lark Tedesco-Finneman, who worked with fire and rescue crews to save Smokey from the tallow tree, said she paid her last respects to the 3-year-old gelding Thursday morning. “I went to where Smokey was lying and he had already been put down and was tarped, and I just lifted up the tarp and said goodbye,” she said. Lisa Bruder, owner of the horse, could not be reached for comment Thursday evening. A veterinarian at Gulf Coast Large Animal Clinic said he could not comment on Smokey’s condition without her permission. But Tedesco-Finneman, a volunteer with the horse-rescue organization Habitat for Horses, said the Smokey’s hind leg was hurt and he appeared to have “given up” on living. She said he also might have had internal injuries or nerve damage.
