Luke Bryan is not only the new ACM Awards co-host, but a horse res­cuer as well! Over the week­end, Luke and his bud­dies were boat­ing near Franklin, Ten­nessee, where they spot­ted a horse who had fallen into a river – WSMV-TV reports. The 15-year-old horse named “Misty” tum­bled 15-feet into the water, when a rain-soaked river bank gave way. “Misty’s” owner, Janet McCormick, tells the news chan­nel, “If they hadn’t been going down the river in the boat, I wouldn’t have known that she’d fallen in.” After sev­eral hours, it took a team of a dozen peo­ple to set her free with “some straps, a trac­tor and a lot of manpower.”
