The American Roberts family was shaken on Tuesday morning. In their stable building near Ocala, 21 horses died in a stable fire. The fire was noticed around 3:30 in the morning.
The Roberts family are also the owners of the World Equestrian Center in Ocala. The horses that died were stabled at a property in Marion County. By the time emergency services arrived, the roof of the stable had collapsed.
Meanwhile, various international families are offering their support, as is the management of the World Equestrian Center.
“We are aware of a tragic incident that occurred on private property personally owned by the individuals who also own World Equestrian Center. While the private property is entirely separate from and not affiliated with World Equestrian Center business or operations, we extend our deepest sympathies to those affected. As this is a personal matter, we will not be providing further comment. We appreciate your understanding and respect for the privacy of those involved,” writes the World Equestrian Center.
Our condolences to the Roberts Family
