The Hornist's Dramatic Escape is a Side Adventure in Tears of the Kingdom.
Requirements
Eustus is a horn player who lost control of his wagon and fell in a small crater just south of Nero Hill. Link can speak with him to begin the quest. Eustus won't leave however, unless he gets his wagon out of the ditch as well.[1]
Walkthrough
There are multiple ways to get the wagon out of the ditch. The easiest is to simply create a ramp, using the nearby Hyrule Restoration Materials. Then Link can grab the wagon with Ultrahand and simply walk out of the hole.
Alternatively, Link can attach a Flame Emitter to the top of the wagon. Then Link can attach a Balloon to the Flame Emitter. He can strike the Flame Emitter to have the Balloon will carry the Wagon up. Ascend can then be used by the nearby ledge to get up higher. When the Balloon rises up, Link can grab it with Ultrahand and move the wagon to safer ground. Alternatively, Ascend can be used first, and the Flame Emitter can be activated by shooting an Arrow at it, leaving Link already prepared to grab the wagon.
Eustus will need to be sitting in the wagon in order to complete the quest, so be sure to talk to him until he agrees to get in the wagon. After successfully getting Eustus out of the hole, he'll reward Link with some Courser Bee Honey. Eustus will then leave the area to return to the Stable Trotters.[2]

I got my wagon going at a pretty good clip on this road, but then I suddenly drove into this hole. It's never been here before! The horse I was riding ran off somewhere, and my cargo has spoiled. The only thing I have left is the wagon. I haven't figured out how to get both me and my wagon out of this hole, and I won't leave it behind. Which leaves me stuck here, plain and simple. It's nice to know I'm not the only one this happens to. But it would be nicer if you had a plan to free us from this hole." — Eustus, Tears of the Kingdom

If you hadn't come along, I don't know how much longer I would have been stuck in that hole. Come to think of it, if I hadn't made such a rash decision during the earliest days of the Upheaval, and run off on my troupe... maybe things wouldn't have ended up like this. I mean, the supplies I collected to help feed Rito Village have all spoiled by now anyway. I should get back to the Stable Trotters and rejoin my bandmates. That will do more good." — Eustus, Tears of the Kingdom
