A 7-year-old horse is joining a British ambulance service as a way to get medical aid to people at a park faster than a traditional ambulance. Chase and his owner, Mark Bennett, will be assisting emergency callers at the Cannock Chase Country Park in Staffordshire, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

It will mark the first time an animal has been used as an ambulance in Britain during modern times. Bennett explained that because of the park’s terrain, he and Chase can reach people in need easier and quicker than a regular vehicle. Chase will be carrying such equipment as a defibrillator, oxygen, bandages, splints, and blankets, and Bennett will be able to perform first aid.

“Everything that we might need to keep someone alive is on that horse,” Bennett told the Daily Mail. Bennett said that from within the park, he and Chase can get to any area of the 3,000 acres within 15 minutes.

The good-natured Chase acts as a guide horse at the park, leading the other horses carrying tourists
