Rain Floods Huntcliff Stables, Horses Moved to Wills Park

Heavy rain into the Chattahoochee River caused flooding at the Huntcliff Stables in Sandy Springs on Sunday.

A Fox5 Atlanta report said Sandy Springs firefighters and the City of Milton Fire Department helped to transport about 20 horses to Wills Park in Alpharetta as a precautionary measure. 

Horse owner, Leslie Olsen, told Channel 2 News the horses remained calm during the rescue.

Forty Huntcliff horses were rescued during the rains of September 2009, when water levels reached four feet.

Channel 2 News reported that the horses could return home to Sandy Springs on Monday.
