A deputy, in full uniform and 22 days before his retirement, waded into the pool to reassure the large, dark-colored steed.
He sat down on the steps and calmed the animal, who looked to be standing in around three feet of water.
After being rescued, the horse later died, officials said. (Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office)
