oh yeah right if wed got the horeses of it may of caused a crash killing people do you really think we could of stopped cars going at 70 mile per hour and over? and do you reallly think we wanted to leave them there u need to sort your head out there was no chance of getting them out u silly cow! it was not to get money at all are you seriously that stupid youve just come on here same reason as the other woman to try and look big slagging someone of for an accident that couldnt of been helped!!! also id like to know if it were all puposely done then wouldnt car crashes and all that be cause for money then... your actually vile crawl under the rock you came from!
 
What a vile thing to post, Maverick21, have you actually ever seen a lorry go up in flames?? They go up bl**dy quickly, we havnt heard yet what started the fire. And I highly doubt they where sitting around not caring. By the time they pulled over, and got out it could well of been too late to have a chance to do anything. They were also on a Motorway with 3 lanes of traffic going at 70mph, if they had of managed to somehow get them out they could well of been more accidents. And human life is more precious more than animals. And as for smoking at the stables, around straw you can't care about your horses that much, any spark could cause a fire, have a look at how forest fires are caused, do you want to be responsible for burning down your yard???

But this person is having a go, then openly admits to smoking on a yard while mucking out :-o

RIP to the ponies, and to all those involved :-(

Who ever you are! I think it would be wise to remove your comments to prove that actually your not such a silly person as
A. you were not there
B. I was there
C. I seen it all and know that she did everything correct
D. your opinion is extreme and tells me your either a child or someone who is a dreamer
E. you can be prosecuted for slander and now your threads are copied etc the law can get information about who you are.:mad:
 
Just for the record, this lady is a professional horse transporter who didn't charge ridiculous money, her box was not flashy and brand new, it was actually 10 year old and well looked after, on the day she had 2 young girls with her on a very busy motorway and the first indication of a problem was a bit of smoke to which she pulled over which toke seconds and then it was thick black smoke, well with 2 young children on a very busy motorway and no sound or movement from the horses in the back what would you do?

would you go and open doors when the thick black smoke billowing out? the doors red hot? risking the children when the petrol tank close by?

the fire was so quick all she could do was grab both young children who where screaming and take them to safety, what happened was a freak accident and a very sad one to and I will never forget it myself as it all unravelled.

Poor poor ponies. I did wonder when I saw the thread, how this could happen to a properly run transport operation. Fire in the engine, time to get horse off back surely?

Lol well said and yeh unbelieveable
 
very sad news rip ponys and thoughts go out to any one involved can anyone tell me what ponys got killed ? only asking as we sold a pony at the auction on sat for a friend thanks
 
no1 - It must have been horrendous. My worst nightmare, and I send my thoughts to all involved. One can only hope that the smoke got to the horses before the fire did. If they were quiet, it's likely that is what happened.
 
I gave up trying to read Mavericks incomprehensible, lazy and illiterate post. I got the gist of it from the comments of those who had managed to decipher it. If you wish to make a point on this forum, then take a bit of time to ensure it can be read. There are a lot of people on here who really do have genuine issues but I never have a problem reading their posts!
 
Just curious, does this brand of box have an emergency exit through the jockey door? The little box I use does, I guess it's designed for just this kind of emergency. I would gladly risk my life to try to rescue any pony, no matter how 'cheap'.
 
I think people are underestimating just how quickly fire can spread. I would be pretty sure of there was any chance of safely getting the ponies out, they would have, but speaking from personal experience, fire takes over in a matter of a few minutes...
 
Tragic

Having driven normal vans with the same cab the engine is awfully close to you and the cab is only as deep as the seats and the legroom so overall the horses are mere feet away from the engine themselves

A fire would spread just so quickly, anyone trying to let down the side ramp would be very close to the fire

Given that the passengers were children no one could have reacted fast enough to get out of the passenger door and get to the ramp, the driver will have to run around and of course they would have got the kids out first so time spent doing that

I think to question the actions of the driver is in poor taste
 
RIP ponies, this is a dreadful story.

Don't intend to join the argument with people joining to post on here. If there really were three ponies in it, they can have been legal though

Does make we wonder once again about these types of box conversions. What are they made of to go up so quickly. Was petrol/gas or some other accelerant the cause or are flamable materials used in the construction.
 
There were definitely 3 ponies on board unfortunately :( poor souls.

I'm sure the driver did everything she could under the circumstances. I can't imagine what she, and all those involved, must be going through.

It was a tragic accident and I pray the ponies didn't suffer too much and were knocked out by the fumes.

May they rest in peace. So terribly sad xx

it wasnt the fact they were cheap we did want to rescue them and like ive been saying so many times if wed got them out they would of run on the motorway and caused a crash killing themselves and people what you think you would do and what you would of actually done in that situation are 2 different things
