On the eve of the Grand National, London Fire Brigade (LFB) have rescued a horse who was stuck in a water clogged ditch in Belvedere.
The muddy horse was stuck on Anderson Way, and is called Cody.
He does not appear to have any injuries.
LFB tweeted: "Cody is out of #Belvedere Rocky Creek & appears fine Super Duty by firefighters."
Borough Commander for Bexley Richard Welch said: “The horse has fallen into dirty muddy ditch but appears to be okay, if a little distressed.
"Crews have entered the water and are working hard to get Cody out. One thing is certain that it won’t be running in the Grand National tomorrow.”
The Brigade was called at 1.27pm and the horse was out of the ditch by 2.55pm.
