Good Evening Forum Family,
I was able to get through to Jackie and Stuff this afternoon by phone as their phone has been busy most all day. They are both still very numb over the senseless act that was done and at the loss of their beautiful Classic Stallions and Mares. The arson investigators had left and did tell them that it was something that was set on purpose. The barn is a total loss. Right now they don't have anything, no hay, no feed, nothing. Stuff was telling me, as he looked out the window of their home (the barn sat maybe 80-100 feet from the house) that they will get in there in the next day or two to remove the debris and any bodies (if there is anything left of the horses) and those horses will be buried on their place. They were thankful that their house didn't catch on fire since it sat so close to the barn because the wind was blowing hard and cinders were going in all directions.
I have been receiving private emails about what people can do for them or donate money. I don't have a pay-pal account but would suggest that if you wanted to send donations, that those can be mailed to them at their home. What they really need right now is hay and feed for those horses that are still there. Stuff told me they had 1200 square bales in the hay area of the barn where the fire started, he had 80 round bales brought in yesterday that were stored close to the barn and his grain was in the silo. All he has left is maybe 20 round bales that were not burned. Lewella and her husband was there along with several of their close friends and family along with our Registry's president, Mr. Dennis O'Keefe and his wife Sharon was there to help. A neighbor, who they had not met before the fire, was burned on the back of his legs while moving the round bales that he could save. He's going to be ok and thank goodness he was able to move what he could. They did have some yearlings up close to the barn but they where moved to another pasture.
Here is their address if you would like to send donations or have supplies shipped to their home (buckets, halters, ropes, grooming supplies, any type of horse medical supplies, etc):

You can see the horses pictures on their website that were lost in the fire. I told them of the out pouring of love, condolences and offers of help from this forum and the Classic Shetland onelist. They are both very grateful to hear from each of you. L'il Wee Ponies I did tell Jackie of your fire loss two years ago and know you might have some words of encouragement or a shoulder for them to cry on or help guide them though this time of sorrow. If you can drop them a line or give them a call.
Thank you.
