Jan. 10, 2026 (Alpine) -- A 38-year-old horse that went down and could not get back up in Alpine has been rescued by the San Diego Humane Society’s Emergency Response Team.
 
The nonprofit's ERT successfully completed a technical rescue today (Jan. 10) for the Palomino horse named Jasmine -- also affectionately known as "Jazzy."
 
The SDHS ERT technical rescue team was dispatched around 8 a.m. after reports that Jasmine (see photo at left, courtesy San Diego Humane Society) had gone down sometime late last night or early this morning, and was unable to get back up on her own. Because of her advanced age along with the duration of time she had been down, specialized equipment and expertise were required to safely assist her back to her feet.
