When an animal is sick or injured, it’s important that they get taken care of ASAP. That’s why 24/7 emergency vets exist. While places like this are life-saving, can you imagine how difficult it would be to transport an unwell horse? There are many hurdles that come with needing to transport an animal this large. This is just one of the reasons why it’s so awesome that New Zealand offers what is being called a horse ambulance!

Right now, you might be picturing an ambulance that’s the size of a horse — and, well, that’s pretty spot on! The New Zealand Horse Ambulance Trust is the perfect size for a horse to walk inside. Plus, there’s also plenty of room for veterinarians, and other folks who work with animals, to move around and do whatever is needed to keep the horse cared for on their journey. You can see one for yourself in the video below!

There’s no telling how many horses have received life-changing, or even life-saving, care thanks to these unique ambulances. It’s no wonder, then, that so many people are praising New Zealand for offering such a needed service.
“Oh my god. The hydraulics that lower it to ground level??? Amazing,” one person points out in the comment section of the video, with another adding, “That’s brilliant, we need them everywhere, omg.”
