Those poor horses, and also the owners. Tack and equipment can be replace, but not those wonderful horses. Thank goodness some of them were turned out.

I think that is one of the worst ways to lose an animal.

How incredibly sad, although I’m glad some of the horses survived at least.

Such a huge tragedy. Besides the loss of equine life, it will also affect the riders deeply. The riders develop a deep attachment to their mounts. I am truly sorry.

That is horrible. My thoughts and prayers will be with them and all the riders who plan/took lessons there. As for me I plan on volunteering and drive down to Sugarcreek to help out.

We lost a pony in a barn fire 14 years ago and it still haunts me. A total of 14 horses were killed by an arsonist. My thoughts and prayers go out to all who lost their friends in this fire.

My deepest prayers are with you. We also had a barn fire in 2005 and lost 27 horses and all equipment. Life goes on, but you NEVER recover from this loss.
