Waller Equine is supposedly picking him up today.

I’m not going to touch the barn yet until insurance arrives tomorrow .
I am so sorry for your loss and this terrible news! Your family will be in our prayers!

150 yards to the SW and our house would have taken the brunt of that wind.

Hard coming back in and telling your 7 and 4 year old their horse is dead 2 weeks after our 15 year old dog passed.
Just heartbreaking MontgomeryCoWx :cry: Wishing for comfort & peace for your & yours - hugs to those kiddos

updated LSRs - anyone with damage should report it so it's documented for this event

This winter the models have only been a tease, nothing more. I can't recall the last time they were so wrong with model runs outside of 5 days for the entire winter season. I dont see anything else happening for cold weather this year. Hopefully next year will be better.
