Barn and Stable Fires Can Be Devastating

•    22 show horses killed in New York barn fire - January 2012
•    27 horses perished in a barn fire in Michigan - February 2012
•    6 race horses killed in a fire in Chicago - March 2012
•    18 horses die in a barn fire in Illinois - April 2012

We hear about these tragedies all too often, and hope it does not happen to us.  Everyone can remember the 2011 fire, recently profiled on CBS 60 Minutes, which roared through Boyd Martin’s stable claiming the lives of 6 horses and causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in loss which almost ended Boyd’s career.  Miraculously, one  of Boyd’s mounts Neville Bardos, while suffering extensive burns and damage to his lunges, was spared and came back to be his current Olympic hopeful mount.  This is one of those stories which legends are made from, but one which none of us should ever have to experience.  

Barns and stables are filled with highly flammable materials, and present a big fire prevention challenge.  Add the presence of panicked animals and you have a recipe for a disaster if a fire breaks out. However, barn and stable fires are preventable and can be extinguished with the deployment of good barn management and the right fire extinguishing agent.  

Whether you keep your horses at home, or stable them, a barn fire is an event you must plan to prevent.  The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. has teamed up with Fire Freeze Worldwide, Inc. to bring to your attention “Cold Fire” an environmentally horse safe and cost effective fire extinguishing agent.   

Join us on June 29, 2012 at the Kentucky Horse Park, for a live demonstration of the effectiveness of Cold Fire and an explanation of its benefits to the equestrian community.
