More and more the sad news is coming in?of?horse owners?who have lost?all or?almost all of their?horses in?the?March 2, 2012?tornadoes, often along with their homes?and barns. Many horses who were not already dead had to be euthanized?due to severe injuries they had suffered.?Injured horses, along with?pets, and other?livestock have been keeping veterinarians in the area very busy.
Rhonda and Bill McCardle, of Crittenden, Kentucky, have been running their McCardle's Hidden Stables for 40 years, are one of those horse owners?whose lives were?devastated by the March 2 tornadoes. After the tornado hit their ranch two people who lived on their farm were killed, Donald and Linda Beemon, and their ranch laid in ruin with 15 of their horses dead, and the?family dogs?are unaccounted for.
Loose horses were roaming around in the area of Henryville and surrounding areas?hit hard by tornadoes.?Many of?these horses were being rounded?up and trailered?to?Saddle Up Arena, an equestrian show facility,?in?Madison, Indiana.?There were mares with foals by?their sides included in the?group of about 40?horses that were?taken to?the facility.?Each horse is being tagged?with?the identification of?the area?they were found in?for owner reference. Due to the Clark?State Forestry?horse trails?being located?within the?Henryville area there were many horse farms located?in the areas that were hit hard by the?tornadoes. It is?hoped that these horses can be reunited with their owners.
Anyone?missing horses from?the Southern?Indiana?area?hit by tornadoes?can contact Kelly Carr of Saddle?Up Arena at:?502-645-2304.?Saddle Up Arena is located at?178?North Badger?Road, Madison, IN.
