Support Samantha Forman & Forman Show Stables After Tragic Barn Fire

On July 8, our hearts shattered as our barn family suffered an unimaginable loss — eight cherished horses perished in a devastating barn fire at The Mor Linn Farm. Among them were three beloved horses belonging to Samantha Forman and a client of Forman Show Stables, who has been leasing space from the Kennedy family.

While we collectively grieve, we also rally to support Samantha, whose business and heart were deeply impacted by this tragedy. Samantha has been more than just a trainer, she’s been a mentor, a role model, and a source of strength for so many of our children. She’s poured her soul into building a nurturing environment where young riders thrive, and now she needs us to help carry her through this dark chapter.

The fire took the lives of Bear and Prada, two beautiful show ponies who had just begun their promising journeys with our girls, as well as Bowie, another cherished horse. Also lost were all of Samantha’s supplies, tack, and equipment stored in the upper barn.

The road to recovery will be long. Horses are now spread across three different barns, and with no shows or lessons on the horizon, the financial strain is significant. This GoFundMe is being launched to help Samantha rebuild emotionally, logistically, and financially so she can continue the work that has touched so many lives.

We ask you to please keep Samantha and Forman Show Stables in your thoughts and prayers. And if you are able, consider making a donation. Every bit helps ease the burden and ensures that Samantha and her incredible program can rise from this tragedy.

Please share this fundraiser widely. Together, we can show Samantha that the love and support she’s so generously given to others is returned tenfold in her time of need.

With gratitude,

Sam's pony moms

Clarification- this Go Fund Me is separate from the one for the Kennedy Family, the owners of the barn. Sam also needs our support as she tries to piece things back together.
