A Fire Runs Through It., originally uploaded by ms4jah.

Details about horses affected by the floods in Iowa and terrible fires in California and Nova Scotia have been tough to come by. I know that the Equine Emergency Teams are hard at work in California, thanks to reports via ham radio, but there’s not much news from Iowa yet. Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and United Animal Nation (UAN) teams are headed to Iowa this weekend to help.

I hope to have more news to share with you soon. In the meantime, I thought I would share this haunting photo of what happened to plastic fencing in the recent southern California fires. Wooden fences would have burned, I suppose, so it’s not the plastic’s fault.

The photographer mentioned that the horses still stood in their fields, though the fences were down.

Click though on the blog caption to read the photographer’s dramatic store. This photo was taken on an iPhone!
