When Mr. Hank the horse fell in a hole, the whole of Grand Junction pulled together to get him out.
On Tuesday night, the 18-year-old horse ate his dinner at his Grand Junction home, and all was well. But by Wednesday morning he was stuck in a hole.
Really stuck. So stuck that firefighters from two departments were called to the scene — a field near 2252 I 1/4 Road in Grand Junction — just after 7 a.m. Wednesday morning.
