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.

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.
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...

I just read it! On my Gosh! I truly hope the smoke & not the fire got them. The night watchman was just there 1/2 hour before too!!

RIP. Favorite Trick, Gone Hollywood, Saratoga Six
