Report: Six Horses Die in Kentucky Barn Fire
Six horses were reportedly killed during an early morning fire that consumed two barns at Chanteclaire Farm near Midway, Kentucky, on Feb. 25.
The property, formerly the operation of the late Prince Khaled, is now owned by John Moores and Charles Noell’s Merriebelle Stables. Moores, former owner of the San Diego Padres baseball team, and Noell also own the nearby farm that was formerly Stonewall Stallions.
