Old Friends loses barn in fire; no injuries to horses or staff

[Merlinsky]

https://twitter.com/Oldfriendsfarm Pictures and info on their feed, but basically it was the hospital/quarantine barn and it caught fire this morning. A firefighter was injured but no horses or Old Friends staff. I think it's safe to assume they wouldn't turn down money if anybody offered to donate to help with the cost of replacing it.** It's a total loss as you can tell from the charred earth in the picture.

Apparently a couple horses were in there at the time but were gotten out quickly. Phfew. Wonder which ones.

Geez Michael and Claiborne are competing for who's having the roughest start to 2016, aren't they?
