The West Midlands Ambulance Service in Staffordshire, England, has placed an Irish sports horse in service to access areas an ambulance can’t reach. Chase (the horse) has been equipped with a first responder kit and defibrillator and responds with his owner (a member of the West Midlands Fire Service) to emergencies in Cannock Chase Country Park (one of the largest parks in the country).
