Rescue of Rebel Fair Cygnet: Show jumper Rebel Fair Cygnet got stuck in a 12ft
Rescue of Rebel Fair Cygnet: Show jumper Rebel Fair Cygnet got stuck in a 12ft.-deep hole yesterday (Sunday 7-8-66). And it took thirty people, two fire engines, two farm tractors, a bulldozer and a 12-ton mobile crane to get the 11-year-old horse out. Fifteen-year-old David Christian raised the alarm when he went to get Rebel ready for a house show. He found his horse trapped in the hole at Winterpick Farm, Mannings Heath, near Horsham, Sussex. Firemen from Horsham and Storrington rushed to the rescue. Acetylene burners cut through an old lorry chassis which was trapping Rebel in the hole. A tree trunk, also in the hole, was cut in two so that slings could be used. For an hour Mrs. Jane Hicks, wife of a horse trainer, held Rebels head. Then it was found that none of the gear could lift Rebel. So a large mobile crane was brought. Eight hours after rescue operations began, a tired, but unhurt Rebel was hoisted to safety. Up he goes....Rebel is finally hoisted to safety from the hole after his eight-hour ordeal. August 1966 P000638

Rescue of Rebel Fair Cygnet - A Heroic Effort to Save a Show Jumper
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the dramatic rescue of Rebel Fair Cygnet, a renowned show jumper who found himself trapped in a treacherous 12ft. -deep hole. The incident occurred on Sunday, August 7th, 1966 at Winterpick Farm in Mannings Heath near Horsham, Sussex. The desperate situation called for an extraordinary response as thirty brave individuals rallied together to save the distressed horse. Two fire engines, two farm tractors, and even a bulldozer were summoned alongside a colossal 12-ton mobile crane. Their combined efforts would prove crucial in freeing the eleven-year-old Rebel from his perilous predicament. Fifteen-year-old David Christian played an instrumental role by raising the alarm when he discovered his beloved horse ensnared within the unforgiving pit while preparing for a house show. Firefighters from Horsham and Storrington swiftly arrived at the scene and utilized acetylene burners to cut through an old lorry chassis that was trapping Rebel. For eight grueling hours, Mrs. Jane Hicks courageously held onto Rebels head while various equipment was employed to lift him out of harm's way. Ultimately, it was the arrival of a massive mobile crane that provided the necessary strength to hoist Rebel safely back onto solid ground. This awe-inspiring image captures both relief and triumph as Rebel is finally freed from his harrowing ordeal unharmed but undoubtedly exhausted after enduring such an arduous journey towards salvation.
