All of these horses and their barns are safeguarded from barn fires by FireHorse Rescue Kits and utilize FireHorse's unique and innovative products to enhance emergency preparedness.

Triple Crown Pacer Western Dreamer Inducted Posthumously into the 2026 Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame

A true legend of the sport, Western Dreamer remains the only gelding to ever win the U.S. Pacing Triple Crown and was named Horse of the Year in Canada in 1997. After an extraordinary racing career, he spent nearly 25 years inspiring guests at the Kentucky Horse Park’s Hall of Champions, and being protected by FireHorse Rescue. Western Dreamer’s resume includes 27 victories and earnings of $1.8 million. In 1997, he was voted Horse of the Year in Canada and Pacer of the Year the United States for owners Mathew, Patrick and Daniel Daly following wins in the Art Rooney Memorial Pace and the U.S. Pacing Triple Crown. The son of Western Hanover-Fits Of Fun holds the distinction of being the only gelding to win a Pacing Triple Crown. He resided at the Hall of Champions at the Kentucky Horse Park since July 2001 until his passing in March 2026 at the age of 32. This well-deserved honor celebrates the incredible legacy of a horse who left his mark both on the track and in the hearts of all who met him.

What is a FireHorse Equine Blindfold?*

Specially designed for FireHorse's Rescue Kits and found nowhere else, these horse blindfolds wear like a fly mask and restrict the horse’s vision up to 80%. During fire panic, horses have been known to refuse to leave their stalls or to return to a burning structure seeking safety. These blindfolds are intended to allow equestrians or first responders to remove animals safely and reduce injury and panic by removing visual stimulation. They are also useful for trailering, for horses sensitive to needles, and to reduce panic when waking up from anesthesia. Velcro closure.
