Tidningen Ridsport reported that a terrible fire destroyed one of the stable buildings of Gunnarlunde Dressage, home to Danish-Swedish dressage horse dealers Patricia Florin and Bjarke Laustsen.
A fire swept through the stable building, where the top horses are stalled on Wednesday afternoon 14 July 2021.
Main Stable Destroyed
Round 15h39 the fire brigade of Helsingborg (SWE) was called and worked hard to put the fire out. Tidningen Ridsport reported that all horses survived as they were evacuated on time and moved to neighbouring farms.
The adjacent resident building as well as the other stable buildings were saved thanks to the fire department. There was no risk of further spreading of the fire.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this point, but the Swedish website hd.se stated that arson is suspected.
