  • 6 years ago

Two dozen horses died in a barn fire early Thursday at a farm in Connecticut. A post on the Facebook page of Folly Farm in Simsbury said that "the fire department is still investigating the possible cause of the fire in [the] arena barn." 24 horses died due to smoke inhalation. The horses that died were part of the farm’s riding and polo schools and three were privately owned. Nineteen horses housed in other barns were not injured in the fire. The 175-acre farm offers polo instruction, horse riding instruction, horse boarding and the Simsbury Polo Club.
