I am heart-broken to hear this horrible news. It will devastate all owners of these majestic creatures, horse-lovers, and animal lovers. My condolences to the families, and barn owner. I hope they catch the individual who committed these vicious murders, and prosecute this vicious person. If the fire turned out to have been natural causes, I will still grieve for the horses and the pony. yet would give me some comfort because, In my world I cannot imagine a human being so evil and cruel.
