Brave rider saves 38 horses from devastating stable blaze

A rider who saved 38 horses from a devastating stable fire has been given a commendation for bravery by the fire brigade.

Staffordshire Fire & Rescue presented Yasmine with the certificate at a ceremony on 14 August, praising her courage and quick thinking after fire broke out on 20 May.

Yasmine told H&H she sleeps in a caravan at Castle View Stud, where she works as a rider, and that something woke her in the early hours of the Sunday.

“It sounded like there was crackling,” she said. “Then I heard horses screaming. I went outside and everything was lit up.”
