My life is just one big nightmare, one thing after another.

This afternoon the stables went up in flames - we've lost pretty much everything. The horses were turned out, thank goodness, but everything else has gone.

I can't believe this is happening

OMG!
Thank heavens the horses were out - my friend lost 4 horses in a stable fire - it was heart breaking -

How did the fire start?
Thankfully it's all material things and not lives

Omg I am so sorry for you that is awfull. I so hope you can get something fixed. If there is anything you need like rugs or anything am sure we could all club together and send you some spare stuff that we might have laying around as am sure loads of us do,.

So glad everyone is ok and that the horses were out,
 
OMG. What a relief to hear the horses are OK. Stables and objects are replaceable--horses are not.
Hugs and sympathy for you. Just please try to remember that things will come good eventually.
I'm too far away to help but my thoughts are with you.
 
Oh goodness.... I'm so sorry Bounty, but glad to hear that the horses were out and no people were injured. Will be thinking of you.
 
Really sorry to hear what has happened. Like everyone else has said, thank God no one (human or horsey) was hurt.
 
ditto happy go lucky, i am sure we all have spare rugs, bridles etc .. so sorry to hear, glad to hear horses and people are ok
 
[****]. You are having the time of it aren't you

OMG Bounty - I don't know what to say. You poor, poor thing. That is just terrible.

Thank God the horses were turned out.
 
Oh bugger

So sorry to hear this, at least there was no loss of life, you will be amazed at how 6 months later you will barely know there was a fire, do they know how it started?
It's horrible and tomorrow will be worse when you go in and realise the extent of devestation.
Have you got horsey friends to lend you the essentials (headcollar etc)? Are the horses ok out or do they need places to go?

Thank you so much everyone. Fire crews have just left so time to start picking up the pieces. Have had a tractor in pulling out the remainder of the feed/hay store and had it doused load by load because it kept relighting.
A couple of the saddles are cosmetically damaged, but the other 5 are ruined beyond use, and 2 are gone completely. The fire stayed in the rafters mostly, but nearly all of the stuff in the tack room has been burnt by falling timbers, but a few bandages are salvageable.

Every rug I own (think a 12x12 stable full) with the exception of a couple of coolers that were at the house for washing have gone with barely a trace.

BUT - I do still have the horses, and that is all that matters. All I had left of Tills, Boo and Cybele was in the building, so that little part of them has gone, just photos now.

Thank you so much for the PMs - I will lear them later because I can't sit down and reply to them individually right now. I really appreciate all your offers of help - you guys are brilliant.

Not sure how it started - possibly the heat from the muck heap combined with todays really strong wind whipped it into flames, the muck heap is a few metres from the back double doors of the hay/feed store which is where it seems to have started.

Unbelievable
