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!

We were very fortunate... we got all 7 of them out in time. Luckily, it was during the summer and the other 14 were out in the field...

Horrible.. RIP..

How odd is it that Pat Byrne's 2 same-day Juvenile winners die young within a week of each other? We're trying to see if he'll come on the show tonight..

Everytime I go to friends private houses and they have hay near the barn I freak out! I keep my hay clear on the other side of my property away from the horses, same with the manure bins that can self-combust. I really liked Favorite Trick and it breaks my heart to know he was terrified before he dies, it's just not right that something like this still happens in this day and age!

i saw the news today at work. i was shocked, but i always am when i see news like this. you'd think that fire suppression systems would be installed in barns, especially one housing this guy. this happens far too often, wasn't it just last year that they had a fire in florida, lost at least one real good stallion....six stallions lost. unbelievable. my sympathies to the owners, and all involved. i can't imagine how horrible it is for all involved, i don't even want to think about what those poor horses went thru.
