This may have been discussed long ago. Time to revisit?
Tragedy at Flying W Farms 1986
http://www.amha.org/docs/default-source/default-document-library/flyingw_febmar2007.pdf
Fredericka stated:
“That night we had a terrible electrical storm. Our mini horse barn caught fire and burned to the ground, taking twenty-two minis with it. Blue Boy was one of them; I still struggle not to cry when I think about it. It is one of those things I will never get over.
My son and husband tried to rescue the horses.
They were both burned, Bobby pretty badly.
The barn burned so quickly, I am just thankful they got out alive. They tried but could not rescue any of the horses.
Sadly, I wish I could say Blue lived to be 30 and went peacefully to sleep in the pasture, but that is not the case.
“The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, Blessed be the Name of the Lord.” Amen.

One more brief account. FW story evolves.
Fire destroys family's top show horses
Fredericka Stated:
'You know ... a mother's nightmare is that someone might call in the middle of the night and say their kids have been hurt,' she said.
'But a horseman's nightmare is fire.'
“Twenty of the show horses, only about 30 inches tall but valued at nearly $1 million, died in the blazing barn...
'Little Blue Boy, the little white stallion, was worth at least half of that,' said Fredericka Wagner, who owns Flying W Farms with husband Robert.”

Was there an insurance payout on this tragic fire?
Twenty horses were valued at One Million Dollars,
FW stated Little Blue Boy was worth at least half of that.
Very, very suspicious that Blue Boy was put into the barn w the mare in the same stall that night. That’s NOT standard breeding practice. Those actions were out of the ordinary and opposite of standards.
Poor Bobby was probably devastated by this fire, the loss of the horses and his painful injuries. Robin too. Innocent people w no intent to harm.
Some other people, cruel individuals without compassion
Since that time, Wagner Farms Property/Homes have had a few more fires. The number of fires is unusual.
Is Insurance money keeping Wagners afloat?
