Early hours of this morning me and my mum were woken up from a phone call from our yard owner. The hay barn had been set on fire and when we got up there we saw that our tack shed had also gone up in flames along with half of the stables. I know own no tack what so ever not even headcollars, although generious friends of ours are lending us stuff for the time being. If you are in my area (Caldicot near Broomes) and hear anything about something like this dont hesitate to mail me please, also if you have or know of anyone looking to sell tack fast and cheap let me know, it may not be suitable but your help would be brilliant ! thank you all xxxx

Oh you poor thing. I really do sympathise, as this happened to us about 7 years ago. We lost everything that was in our tack room, but thankfully all the ponies were released into the field unharmed - my mare was chased out of her stable seconds before the roof collapsed and my miniature foal was carried out by the YO, who put himself at serious risk to rescue my ponies.
If you don't have specific insurance for your tack, check whether your home insurance will cover any items that are sometimes kept at home. My home insurance paid out for our saddles & bridles which we normally kept at home, but sometimes left in the tack room, but obviously wouldn't pay out for all the standard tack room stuff. Fortunately it was in September and most of our t/o rugs were at the cleaners, so not damaged.
Good luck in sorting things out xx

I cant help I am afraid but I just wanted to say I think what has happed to you is terrible and I hope that they find out who set fire to the barn and tack room. Thankfully no people or animals got hurt.
