MARRUM, Netherlands (AP) -- Rescuers on horseback lured a stranded herd of about 100 horses off a mud-soaked knoll where they had been stranded for three days and led them through receding floodwaters to safe ground Friday.
Before they could be saved, 19 horses drowned or died of exposure from the days and nights on the earthen mound that was turned into an island during a storm Tuesday night.
The plight of the horses has riveted the country, which followed rescue attempts on television and in newspapers after the storm surge pushed sea water into the wilderness area outside the dikes of Marrum, a town 90 miles northeast of Amsterdam.
Four women on horseback guided the animals back, and the entire herd - except one horse - followed without hesitation.

It gave me tears to my eyes knowing that they stood there for 4 long days and the water was much higher. 18 didn't survive during the 4 days.

Too bad the Netherlanders don't feel the same way about Whales and Seals and such. Otherwise, good show, now if more people would take care of the
planet like that.
