Heroes at PVRA
Sunday, October 26, 2003, began like a
bomb had gone off—our phone rang at
6:50 a.m. with a call about a bad fire near
Rolling Hills Stable and a horse evacuation. I opened the front door of my south
Poway house to see a huge dark gray
cloud, stretching east to west across
nearly the entire sky. I walked out to the
street and looked east, to see three large
spots of horrific red glow stretching like
a horseshoe from northeast to southwest along the horizon. This was beyond bad. This was the worst fire I had
ever seen.
We pulled on clothes, grabbed a box
of Danish, and ran to the truck. As we
sped east on Garden Road, my gut
wrenched at the sight of red flames licking down the hills from multiple directions. It was obvious by the time we
arrived at Rolling Hills Stable that we
had to get the horses out immediately.
People were already hustling horses by
the multiples down Sycamore Canyon
Nutrena Program
Guidelines
This program will help PVRA earn
some extra money. It was summarized
at the May General Meeting. Get ready
to save your Elston's receipts!
Cargill will donate 5 sacks of Nutrena
Feed for distribution at each PVRA event
during the calendar year. In addition,
Cargill, in partnership with Elston Hay
& Grain, will contribute 25 cents for
each bag of feed purchased from the
Nutrena Life Design and Vitality lines
of product. They’ll contribute 50 cents
for each bag of Empower.
Receipts must be originals, not photocopies—and we can’t request reprints.
(Editor: The qualifying purchases are
from Elston's.)
Please feel free to contact Ron
Robinson with any questions or comments.

The Horse Tales Editor
apologizes for the late publication of this issue and any
inconvenience this may have
caused the membership—the
Cedar Fire turned the editor
into a horse chauffer for two
weekends and delayed work
on this issue. She hopes that
all PVRA members are doing
well, and recognizes that
several members suffered
significant losses in the fire.
She aso truly appreciates all
the help provided by PVRA
members in this time of crisis.
This is a great club!

Road, either in trailers or hand-walked.
Pipe corrals were standing empty
around the ranch and horses were turned
out into the main arena, where trailers
paused to fill whichever horses could be
caught and loaded, as fast as possible,
no matter whose horses or where the
owner was.
The first evacuation site was
Morningstar Ranch and the Humane
Society large animal facility next door.
As horses accumulated in the main arena
at Morningstar, the flames worked their
way west down Scripps Poway Parkway and onto Rolling Hill Stable’s property, with great red balls of fire leaping
skyward, prompting horrible thoughts
of what was happening up there. As the
fire lined up along the ridge line and
started down the hill toward Garden
Road, the orders came to evacuate the
horses to PVRA. Again, we loaded the
horses into trailers, which were arriving
at the site like miracles, driven by horse
owners from all over the area, who did
not keep horses here but knew the emergency of the situation. People on foot
offered any assistance they could. Some
horses refused all attempts to load, and
had to be hand-walked down the city
trails system to PVRA.
PVRA was an oasis, a safe haven in the
midst of the firestorm. Hundreds of
horses were tethered to the inside of the
arenas and to every hitching post on the

Rare opportunity to see one of the world’s oldest and most historic breeds—the warhorses ridden by
the ancient civilizations of Central Asia, yet kept pure into modern times—an exotic treasure with a
fierce and independent spirit.
These horses hold the world’s record in endurance, and excel in all disciplines—an Akhal-Teke stallion won the Gold Medal in Dressage at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. Akhal-Teke blood is
found in the modern English Thoroughbred, Trakhener, and Nez-Perce Horse breeds.
You will see these horses up close and in person, under saddle, with metallic coats gleaming under
the Southern California sun!
Sharon Saare will be present with her world-famous endurance saddles!
Open to the Public—No Admission Charge

Heroes at PVRA…
grounds, sorted approximately into groups by stable
of origin. The horses were eating donated hay, and
water buckets were set up. Bales of hay were piled
on the grounds for the taking. Cases of bottled water
and bags of bagels were piled on the tables in front
of the Chuck Wagon, free for anyone needing refreshment. PVRA Board Members and numerous
volunteers manned the entry booth, sharing their
cell phones as needed and using the PA system to
make announcements and requests for help. The
staffers were compiling a list of horses and owners,
providing information to help re-unite separated
horses and owners, and advising on who could take
in the hundreds of refugee horses.
Early in the afternoon, the electric power failed
and the microphone went silent. Kent Deines showed
up with a generator and got the sound system
running again. In the late afternoon, a pot of spaghetti and pot of meat sauce appeared in the Chuck
Wagon patio—I never learned who brought it, as we
were then ordered to evacuate PVRA, because the
fire had jumped Poway Road and was climbing the
hill behind the cemetery. For the third time, we
loaded horses, and headed for the Del Mar racetrack. Again, volunteers from all over the region
helped provide transportation. Trainers coaxed
stressed horses into the trailers for their exhausted
and frightened owners.
Eventually, 16 hours after that phone call, our
endless day paused, with some semblance of order
for the lodging of the horses, at least overnight. As
of press time, the fires have quieted in Poway, and
the air is opaque and acrid with smoke. Rolling Hills
Stable is scorched but still standing—contrary to
initial rumors, we did not lose the barn, and most of
the arenas and many of the tack sheds are intact. The
ground is dusted with gray ash and blackened
wood, with tendrils of smoke still wafting upward
from hot spots. The previously heavily brushy canyon extending east from the back of the property is
bare, smoky dirt. It is a very, very weird sight.
However, one thing is very obvious: the people of
PVRA, and the horse community of San Diego, are
heroic. And that is not an exaggeration.
(Comments excerpted from the PVRA web site:
Thank you to the great people of San Diego. Target
donated buckets, Albertson’s donated a ton of water. Elston’s sent hay. People who thought they had
lost their houses were helping people and others all
day and night long. Others spent the day hauling
horses to and from PVRA in search of a place safe
from this fire. Walmart was also very generous with
their donations, especially buckets of all sizes. Stater
Brothers provided cases of water and two shopping
carts full of baked goods.)
