#horses - #We lost 10 horses tonight... How do I even cope?


We lost 10 horses tonight... How do I even cope?

Not the post that anyone wants to make, but it's 1:00am and I'm living in a nightmare.

Wildfires came out of nowhere tonight and destroyed all of our property except for the house and a few shop buildings.

My parents were evacuated but turned around and went back once the winds shifted. I think the evacuation order is still on. Neighbours and fire fighters are on scene trying to stop it from spreading to the house.

Our barn is completely destroyed, and all of our horses are presumed dead. The land is vast, but it is completely torched.

I can't even begin to explain how much it hurts. To lose one horse is a tragedy. Tonight we've lost 10.... how do I even cope?

This is not a post asking for money. We don't need money. What we need is for the 10 members of our family that we've lost to come back :'(

I'm so grateful to the firefighters and neighbours. They are staying on the property all night until the flames are put out.
