It has been reported that an undetermined number of horses have been trapped in a horse stable after its roof collapsed due to ice and snow.
News of the collapse comes courtesy of a report by the Boston Herald which states that the incident has occurred at Bobby’s Ranch, a stable that offers trail rides to the public.
The Boston Herald article states that none of the ranch’s employees have been hurt or trapped, but the report does not specify if any of the horses have suffered any injuries from the collapse at the Westford, Massachusetts location.
The Boston Herald report does not offer any specifics as to what kind of emergency response crews are attending at the site, but a photograph by Mark Garfinkel that accompanies the story shows firefighters and members of the police on the scene.
The article states that the roof collapse happened due to the weight of the ice and snow.
According to the website for Bobby’s Ranch, the family-owned business has been operating since 1972 and is home to Western style horses.
