Re: [RC] Fires & Smoke o-so-dangerous! - Elizabeth Walker
When we had the fires down here in SoCal, I kept Caisson to handwalking for what seemed like forever. I didn't go by what I could see or smell, I went by the officially posted local air quality. That measure took a LONG time to come down to decent levels - much longer than it took for the ash and smoke to clear out.

Tammy,
I look outside and can tell by the look in my horse's eyes that they don't want to go out for a ride...The visability is about 1/8 mi here..all I can do is stay inside and take them cold carrots every few hours..makes me feel better...hope it does them too.

Listen well when you are warned about the air quality being dangerous! After last Oct. fires and our ranch burning up I thought that we were safe because we didn't feel damaged that evening or a week after the fires. But 4 weeks later my Father age 78 came down with pneumonia and had to go to the hospital for a few days. My Mare Katie Bar The Door lost her foal (still in her) and we didn't know until later....3 Months Later. It was mummfied in her that long! Saved the mare, and now the stallion ..."FastPtrack" has been put down (not fire related). So get your horses, or other animals out of the smoke and if you can get yourself and your older loved ones out too. You won't feel the damage being done!
