A Horse To The Rescue

When James Stevens was a young boy, he was saved by a horse!
James was swimming when the current carried him seventy-five yards from land. He tried to swim to shore but the current was too strong. A police officer saw that James was in trouble. The officer mounted his horse. The horse ran into the water and swam through the waves to James. The police officer out a rope around the boy, and the horse pulled him to shore.
The current had been too strong for the officer to swim to James, but not for his horse. The horse had saved James Stevens’ life.
