Carla’s barn, which she owned for 21 years, was tragically engulfed in flames. Carla Hurley, at Lead Me On Farm, specializes in breaking colts which meant most of the horses in the barn were three and under. Carla lost eleven horses that night. Horses such as Lightning Strikes Twice, On In One, Oops Peek A Boo and Dreams Little Dream. Many had already been crowned World Grand Champion in recent “model and halter division” events. There is no amount of money that can take away the pain Carla experienced but what we can do is help her rebuild and start over.
