Obe, a 25-year-old horse, was airlifted to hospital after slipping and falling in Orange County, southern California.
He had been on a walk with his owner when the incident occurred.
Struggling to get up, Obe was sedated before he was fitted with a harness and taken to the skies before landing at the Shea Center, a riding facility in San Juan Capistrano.
Obe was eventually able to stand up and greet other horses at the facility, local news reported.
