[News North Wales] A HEROIC passer-by rescued a horse from a trailer engulfed in flames.

Father-of-two Colin Davies showed no regard to his own safety. He said afterwards that he could not have lived with himself if he had done nothing and the horse had died.

The 38-year-old, from Strand Walk, Holywell, was leaving Burger King in Pentre Halkyn with his two teenage sons, moments before spotting the vehicle fire on the A55 at about 3pm on Bank Holiday Monday.

Mr Davies, who has a horse named Harvey himself, pulled over to assist as the flames took hold.

“I saw this horse box on fire. I’ve got a horse myself so I pulled over,” he said. “I wanted to try and help.

“There was a woman and her two children at the side of the road. She said they had to leap out of the vehicle because it caught fire.

“I asked if there was a horse in the horse box and she said there was but the fire service had advised her not to approach the vehicle.

“I tried to open the gate.

“I couldn’t get the hydraulics to work.

“Other people pulled over then there were three of us trying to pull the gate open.”

Mr Davies said the fire service arrived, and officers helped him open the gate to gain entry, as other officers battled the flames.

“I told the fire service that I’m a horse owner and if they could get the back open, I’d go in and get the horse,” he said.

“There was a lot of black smoke.

“I climbed in and unhooked the horse and got her out.

“She was crying out at first but then she was fine.

“The woman’s daughter at the side of the road was beside herself.

[Equihunter] After a fire at a yard in Swanley in Kent, there has been an appeal for any help that fellow equestrians can offer, in providing emergency supplies as the fire has been described as destroying everything.

NEW UPDATE: ‘We are literally left with just a field’- Swanley stable destroyed after fire causes £50,000 of damage

The Kent Fire & Rescue Service posted this operational update at 8:00 p.pm. last night (9th July)…. Straw bales and stable alight in Gilden Hill Road, Swanley, Four fire engines and a bulk water carrier in attendance.

Crews are currently tackling a fire involving approximately 50 straw bales and stable block on Gilden Hill Road in Swanley.

Six horses have been led to safety by firefighters. There are no reports of any injuries and the cause of the fire is currently unknown.

Georgi Honnor from the yard posted this plea on Facebook this morning in the BSJA Group for any help that could be offered…..

“Urgent help needed! Our yard, Swanley Village went up in flames in an attack we are treating as suspicious after a burglary earlier in the week. We have lost everything our yard is no more, blaze has wiped everything including fencing, stables, feed, rugs, headcollars even water troughs we have nothing and 31 horses including 2 mares with young foals. 

Any donation of anything horsey would be greatly appreciated as we have literally lost everything.

Georgi’s woes have been further added to when she commented that the “Yard owner is on holiday and trying to get back, couldn’t be worse of a nightmare ….”

If you can offer any assistance the link to the original post is here…. Georgi Honnor’s post in BSJA
