After the devastating loss of horseflesh and livelihood suffered this past Thursday after a barn fire at Tioga Downs in southcentral New York took the lives of 30 animals (including three yearlings and seven 2- and 3-year-olds, just starting on their careers), the United States Harness Writers Association (USHWA) opens its minds and hearts to those affected by the horrible situation and is making a $10,000 donation to the Southern Tier Harness Horsemen’s Association, designed to reach those directly affected by the senseless tragedy to start to rebuild their lives.
