Birdbirdstheword tragically lost in a barn fire

Postby tammysinnett » Sun Jul 10, 2011 5:00 pm

My sympathy to Jackie King for the loss of their beautiful studs in a Barn fire http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A ... =jAQDkdDba

http://www.barntowire.com/Forums.html Jackie and Joe King had a barn fire at Indian Hills and I have not confirmed this, but heard it from a good source that the 4 stallions, Birdbirdistheword, Kugelis, Wild Gambler, and Viareggio(Ire) perished in the fire. My heart goes out to Jackie and Joe, and I can't imagine how devastated they feel. You have my deepest sympathy on your loss!

Update - According to the BarnToWire forums, Wild Gambler and Viareggio were in a different barn.

They lost Birdbirdistheword, Kugelis and two broodmares. :cry:
