I feel strange saying this, but I'd almost rather have one break down and be euthanized immediately than go through the terror of a fire. I hope they died of the smoke :(

Agree, I pray they died from the smoke, can't imagine the terror of burning up.

:cry: I'm just kind of shaking in disbelief. It's tragic when horses die young and it's tragic when a horse that far along and near pasture-dom can't enjoy just hanging out in his golden years. I'm just hoping they didn't feel a thing.

The Countess Diana/Favorite Trick tragedies are just creepy. 1997 filly and 1997 colt champs, inside of a couple weeks.

barn fire is my worst nightmare. The owners must be devisated. Like eveyone else, hope (against all hopes) that the animals didn't suffer.

RIP boys. :cry: :cry:

I was just thinking the other day of Saratoga Six...

This year has not been good. Barn fires, breakdowns, disease, a driver gets killed during a harness race....sometimes it becomes too much...
