MAGNOLIA, Texas -- As many as 14 Arabian horses were killed Tuesday morning in a stable fire in Magnolia.
The 2-alarm blaze broke out at the Goslin Nix Stables at Superior Road and FM 1488 around 6 a.m.
The flames spread quickly trhough the 5,000 square foot stable and firefighters were unable to rescue 14 horses.
Neighbors and fire crews entered the burning building to open some interior stalls and free the others.
Some of the 14 surviving horses suffered burns and smoke inhalation and are being treated by a veterinarian. Most appeared to be unharmed as they grazed in a nearby pasture.
Each horse is valued between $60,000 and $100,000, according to the Montgomery County fire marshal.
The huge stable that housed them was gutted.
Firefighters from Montgomery County, Magnolia, The Woodlands and Needham volunteer fire departments battled the blaze.
