KOMO News 4 ABC Affiliate: Big rescue effort, 'horse whisperer' helps save trapped pony
A huge rescue effort help saved a pony who got herself trapped on a ledge in Redmond Tuesday.
Friends, neighbors and the pony’s owner spent all of Monday frustrated looking for this 800-pound mare, but it took the intervention of a self-professed “horse whisperer” to get the volunteers the clue they needed to track-down this pony.

Jemma walked herself down a ledge and got trapped because she couldn’t turn around.
But then, an animal communicator took a look at Jemma’s picture, described where searchers could find the pony, and told them Jemma was worried but otherwise OK.
