Firefighters from Tipton and the fire service's Tech Rescue team walked the horse to shallower waters at the edge of the canal.
They then tied two long slings around the black and white horse and used them to heave the animal out of the water to safety.
The RSPCA were also called to check the horse over. The fire service said the animal was doing well despite its ordeal.
