Barn Fire across town

[coopermini]

The news here this morning reported a barn fire here in Windham that started about 5 am. News report says all 8 horses were lost in the fire. I heard from one person that some may have been a couple minis but I never knew they had any at the farm. The horses lost were 8 show horses with reported values in $10,000+ plus range. Fire was put out in 1/2 hour from when firefighters arrived.

Very sad for sure!

the show barn with the minis would be David Rands on the same road. Thats who we sold Bam Bam to. We were so worried that it was his facility. But it wasnt, phew, but oh so sad for the show barn that it turned out to be. We showed with her years back, very nice person. So sad

The farm is Spruce Hill Farm and they show and train Quarter horses. Dana and Amy Sterling. They have been quite active working with youth for an number of years. Most of the horses lost were client horses as I have heard it later today. A very nice family owned operation.

Really hard to imagine what they have been going thru all day.
