Six Horses Perish in Fire

There is great sadness in reporting that six horses died in a trailer fire on Sunday morning, July 6, 2008. Don and Allison Deardorff were returning from the Santa Barbara National Horse Show in California when the trailer they were towing caught fire at the Los Banos exit on Interstate 5. Within a short period of time the trailer was in flames which reached above the roof. All the horses were lost.

The horses lost included CH Doubletrees Lymrique owned by Pat and Kelle Howard, Doubletrees Bouquet of Blue, owned by Lisa Fulgaro, Doubletrees Caper Style, owned by Karen Lachman, Doubletrees Royal Request, owned by Leslie Pierce, The Intimidator owned by James Nottage and Truly A Masterpiece owned by Colleen Gadbois.
