Think about the dumbest, most embarrassing thing that you ever did while trying to attract the attention of a romantic/sexual partner. Whatever it was, it pales (I hope, for your sake) compared to the plight of Shadow, a 30-year-old female Palomino/Appaloosa horse who needed the help of Sacramento Metropolitan firefighters Wednesday after a dance intended to attract a romantic partner ended with her stuck in a bathtub.
Shadow's owner, Charles Campbell, says that despite her advanced age, Shadow was "in heat" and was "checking out a potential mate" when she lost her balance and fell into a bathtub she typically uses as a food trough, with her legs stuck into the air.
Once in, she was unable to get out.

The Campbells called Sacramento Metro Fire, and emergency responders were able to extract the horse from the tub, as you can see from the below video Metro Fire posted to Facebook. Don't worry! She's fine.
Shadow's lascivious state resulted in her getting a bit too "frisky," Campbell says. "It's getting a little too close to Valentine's Day."
The target of Shadow's attentions remained unidentified at publication time.
