Heroic rescue: residents scramble their tinny to save horse from floodwater
- Jessica Yates, a Millers Forest resident, rescued a neighbour's horse named Portia from freezing floodwater on Friday morning.
- They received an early call at 6:30am about Portia being tangled in electric fencing and struggling near the river in rising floodwaters.
- Jessica and her husband Paul used a tinny to reach the horse, and Jessica jumped into the water to cut rope off Portia's legs underwater with a knife.
- Paul said the water level is higher than in the 2022 flood and described the cleanup challenges due to debris and fridges floating into properties.
- If Jessica had not intervened, Paul said the horse would have drowned, while residents now face ongoing problems including lack of livestock feed and a significant cleanup.
