On Claremont Ave in The Basin this car and horse float (complete with 2 horses, Will & Soverign) were unable to make it up the hill towards Mountain Hwy and with wheels spinning on the wet road started slipping backwards, finally coming to a stop only metres from disaster.
Knox SES were called for their winching expertise and heavy equipment.

crews position trucks to secure the car before winching
With
the car and float secure and winched away from the edge of the road and a very
steep drop, Will and Soverign (the Horses) were allowed to exit the trailer.
With
the horses safely out of the trailer the car and trailer were winched a few more
metres up the hill.
Will
and Soverign more interested in food while their transport is taken up the hill.
With
transport safely up the hill it was time to load up again
