Many may have seen the videos of horses being overtaken by a quick moving fire in San Diego, California. Of about 500 horses, more than 25 perished. The quick response of many, who risked their own lives to save the horses, prevented many more from dying.
This year there has been fires, floods, hurricanes, earth quakes, tornadoes and other disasters. While we cannot always prepare for a disaster, please have plans for your animals.
Thank you to the equine world and other critter communities that have helped get animals to safety and have freely housed animals in need or provided feed, transportation and supplies in these disasters.
Prayers for all the people, critters, wildlife and plant life in the path of these events, and for all those who have survived these recent disasters.

The risk of turning out horses that are never allowed to run free in a herd was a hard decision, many of those horses are stallions . but it had to be done for their safety the horses would run from the fire and hopefully not into the barns.. i would imagine some died from smoke and from exhaustion.. many were captured later and put on trailers to be taken to safety many had to be found by their owners as people were just grabbing horses and loading them up on trailers.
such a dire circumstance. for all involved. the homes.. people, wildlife. all displaced. say a prayer and hopefully this will pass and they will rebuild. Amen

I can't even imagine how hard that was for the owners and animals. They were so scared and running... I thank goodness we don't have to deal with such things. I could not imagine I have to let my horses free and hope they survive
