Horse reunited with owner after being rescued from flooded creek near Marengo, Illinois

From flood victim to star of the show; one horse in McHenry County is having one heck of a week after dozens of rescuers saved his life over the weekend. About 45 people were involved in the horse’s rescue on Friday, who was suffering from significant hypothermia after he was pulled out of the water. On Wednesday, he was munching hay and enjoying life after being reunited with his owner, Ashley Beaulieu, who was beyond grateful to have Troy back home.

“He beat hypothermia, so that’s the most important part,” she said. Troy has come a long way since this past weekend. “I think that day he was so close to giving up so many times, but he pulled through,” Beaulieu said of the day she nearly lost Troy. As storms passed through on Friday, Coon Creek overflowed its banks. Troy, a 20-year-old Appaloosa, was swept away in the floodwaters. “With the storms, everything started to flood,” Beaulieu said. “The water was, like, very mucky. It was deep and it had a really strong current.” Firefighters found him stranded in chest-deep cold water about 200 yards from the nearest shore. “It’s just really hard to see something suffering and your instinct is to want to help it, and you can’t just jump in and help him,” Beaulieu said.

First responders rescued a horse from an overflowing creek near Marengo, Illinois, northwest of Chicago this weekend.

Early Saturday morning, the Marengo Fire & Rescue Districts were called for an animal water rescue in the 22900 block of Anthony Road in unincorporated McHenry County near Marengo.

Firefighters and sheriff’s deputies found a horse in Coon Creek, standing in floodwaters about 600 feet from the nearest shore, the fire and rescue district said. Coon Creek overflowed its banks during recent storms, and the horse was believed to have been swept away overnight Friday into Saturday, the district said.
