A couple of years ago I was at my MIL house when a storm came through. Lightning hit the house across the street from her house. Sounded like a bomb went off. Scared the bejeepers outta me.
I lost 2 horses to lightning about 10-12 years ago. They were in an open field, no trees. Lightning ran under the road & up through their legs. The older gelding was wearing a calf collar'cause he wouldn't keep a halter on, and my spotted filly had a halter. They dropped where they fell. That devastated me so much that I got out o field trials & out of horses. Never have totally gotten over it.
So sorry!
