Don't be sorry!

I didn't look in the paddock yet so if you posted it there will delete this one.

Just too strange and sad.

I'd use the word, "shocking", but it seems mocking. Beyond sad and most likely avoidable.

Ohmygawd, what a terrible thing. Ground fault, yes, it happens. Thank goodness no people were harmed, but what a horrible thing to happen. Those poor horses.
