OMG... that is horrible! Something is fishy about that whole situation...

Horse of the Year Favorite Trick among six stallions killed in barn fire

A fire Tuesday evening at Jim and Marilyn Helzer's JEH Stallion Station in Hondo, New Mexico, claimed the lives of all six stallions at the farm, including three Thoroughbreds: 1997 Horse of the Year Favorite Trick, Grade 1 winner Saratoga Six, and Gone Hollywood.
No humans were injured in the fire, and a farm spokeswoman said at 10 a.m. MDT that no other horses on the farm—broodmares, their foals, and yearlings—suffered any injuries due to the fire or its resulting smoke.

Further details were not immediately available.

Absolutely horrible story....very sad

That's my biggest nightmare, honestly. We had a barn fire about ten years ago where I used to board my horse, and thank God we got all of the horses out in time. They were all freaked out and we had to actually blindfold a few of them to get them to leave their stalls.

Just thinking about this makes me nautious.

Barn fires are horrible! The problem is that if there is any hay in the barn, it dramatically, dramatically reduces the time you have to get the horses out of your stalls. In fact, I've read somewhere that you have approximately 30 seconds to get a horse out of a stall in which there is hay before the horse suffers serious burns. That isn't much time!
