Pray for the horses. Very bad fire coming from the barn area

Heard it was Chris Long's barn. Lost 15 head from what I understand.

I just heard that 31 horses perished

Devastating. Has anyone confirmed whose barn this was?

Multiple people reporting Robin/Chris and Timmy Benson barn

[The Unstable]

I heard Long/Robyn lost everything.  One of Bensons horses found outside barn, rest gone.  Racing cancelled, awful day.

And not a peep of sympathy from Petrelli for those horses.  No vendetta I guess.

You mean if someone we all know, unlike you  doesn't come to Horseplop to post, and uses their own SM (10 times larger than the plop population  ), videos etc they have no sympathy?

[Mr.Turnpike]

  I am so sorry for all people and horses involved absolutely horrible

When are people going to realize this isn’t a coincidence?!

This keeps happening because people are leaving shit plugged in overnight, hay next to electric, etc

Angers me horses die from people not paying attention

Absolute truth. These piece of shit barn areas are never inspected. Management should be held accountable, as you can't rely on the scumbag trainers to adhere to fire code safety. Because of this, poor animals pay the price.
