Horse dies of high stress levels from fireworks [View all]
TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A horse's life was cut short after the Fourth of July due to what the owner says was the overwhelming stress caused by nearby fireworks. Even with multiple attempts to save the horse, it wasn't enough.
Holly Hansen owned 20-year-old Sunny for 18 years. Hansen describes Sunny as perfectly healthy and happy, but skittish about fireworks.
"She was a platinum palomino Tennessee Walker, she had blonde hair," Hansen described of Sunny. "And so, a lot of people said we were alike."
She tells me this Fourth of July, neighbors set off illegal aerial fireworks. Adding that the loud explosions and bright lights from eight hours of fireworks may have led to Sunny's untimely death.
