In a heartwarming turn of events outside of Calgary, a group of Good Samaritans came to the rescue of a distressed horse trapped in a treacherous marshland. The horse, part of a new herd in the area, had wandered off during heavy rainfall, finding itself stuck in the muddy quagmire.
Darla Connelly, overseeing the situation, expressed deep concern for the new herd, unfamiliar with the challenging terrain during this unusually rainy season. Her fears materialized when one of the mares, a two-year-old, ventured too far and got trapped in the marsh.
The rescue effort kicked into high gear when the distress signals from the trapped horse were spotted. A team of volunteers from Help Alberta Wildlife Society, equipped with ATVs and specialized rescue gear, rushed to the scene. The horse, struggling to keep afloat, faced the imminent threat of sinking further into the muddy abyss.
Daryl Glover, one of the volunteers, braved the treacherous mud to approach the distressed mare. With careful maneuvering, he secured a rope around the horse’s hindquarters, offering support to ease her struggle. The coordinated efforts of the team prevented the situation from escalating further.
As the ATV’s engine roared, the rescue rig tightened the rope, allowing the horse to gain a foothold and aiding her ascent. In a remarkable display of resilience, the horse’s hind legs found firmer ground, and with each pull, she inched closer to safety.
Amidst the tension of the rescue operation, an unexpected moment of gratitude unfolded. Once the horse was on solid ground, she exhibited a surprising display of appreciation. Rather than bolting away in fear, the mare approached Daryl, nuzzled him, and even sniffed in acknowledgement.
Barbara Eden, a beloved Hollywood icon, defies age and embraces life
Incredibly beautiful Barbara Eden is 92 and we can all agree that she looks like she hasn’t aged a day. The I Dream of Jeannie star is as stunning as ever and we couldn’t help but share her recent photos of her with you.
Barbara Eden was born Barbara Jean Morehead on August 23, 1931. Her first public performance was singing in the church choir which later led to her being part of different bands. She studies both singing and acting and turned to be very successful in both.
Her natural beauty brought her the title Miss San Francisco in 1951.
Her TV career started with The Johnny Carson Show in 1955 and continued with a number of series and movies. In I Dream of Jeannie, which is her most remarkable role, she played a genie set free from her bottle. The series aired for five years.
For her last birthday, an official Barbara Eden Instagram account shared a photo of her which left fans stunned by how she looks at that age.
It said, “We wish our favorite blonde, Rider of the Wild Surf, Voyager to the Bottom of the Sea, nemesis of the Harper Valley PTA and of course, the eternal Lady in the Bottle a very happy Birthday today!”
In 1988, Barbara received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to television.
In her memoir Jeannie Out of the Bottle, which was released in 2011, she speaks of her childhood, her fame in her 20’s, as well as her marriages and the tragedy of losing her son.
This year, the actress turned 92 and says she feels age is just a number. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, she says:“It’s like any other birthday, I’m just happy to be here.”
Barbara is still working and doesn’t plan to retire any time soon. “I was working up until the shutdown point last March,” she told the Hollywood Reporter.
She is happy she has been part of the showbiz. “I’m very happy that I lived during that time,” she told the Hollywood Reporter. “I’m happy that I had my beginnings then, but things change. What a wonderful time now, more actors are working than ever before with all of the companies like Netflix and Amazon, all of these movies and TV shows they are producing.”
“I feel young!” Barbara told Page 6, adding that she considered herself lucky. “I feel sorry for people like my poor father who had to work every day at something he didn’t like. I enjoy my work. I still work.”
Until a few years back, she kept going to the gym, participating in spin classes, and lifting weights. Nowadays, she works with a trainer at her home.
“I have a lot of friends,” the TV legend added. “I’m pretty active socially.”
Eden recently attended a red carpet event in Beverly Hills and completely astounded everyone in attendance with her youthful looks.
She wore a navy blue satin shirt and matching black leggings, a matching set of black and silver jewelry, as well as high shoes with a pointed toe.
In 2021, she explained how she managed to keep her looks.
“I’m very careful about [my] diet,” she mentioned..
“I’m a carnivore… I like steak. We eat a lot of pork, chicken, steak [and] vegetables.”
We all have to agree that Barbara looks awesome.
