:sad:

That's absolutely dreadful. Very sad news.

Tragic. Horses are so sensitive. I can not imagine their fear.

Been at that place... its right next door to a good farmer friend, the owners of the horse farm rents some of his land.. and has had a barn built on it to facilitate horses (which our friend is paid rent on). Not sure if it is HIS barn on his property or not, there are a few barns there. Regardless, very tragic. I wonder how it started.

These things happen all too easily for many reasons damp hay, electrics whatever. Locally in a farmers calf barn a few years back the young kiddie noticed an outlet smoking. Ran for his parents and all was well because of his smarts. A piece of old wiring had started to smoulder.

Extra hydro draw because of heat lamps water heaters etc this time a yr thru wires ment for so much draw or to old causing heating & Fire . Luck
And the old favourite rodents shewing on wires .

So sad, poor babies!
