For people in the horse and eventing World...
Boyd Martin, who I know a little bit (he is very nice) had a barn burn down in the past 48 hours. There were 11 horses inside.... 4 were rescued, 1 escaped and ran away and 6 died... including the groom's horse. The 4 who survived include his 2 advanced level horses Nevel and Remington.... they and the other 2 are being treated for burns and smoke inhalation. My condolances to Boyd and Silva Martin. Accidents happen... but this one has moved me and a others in my area to have electrical wiring checked in older barns.
PLease everyone, lets try and prevent a fire happening in one of your barns.
Please everyone say a prayer for them, the grooms and the horses.
