LATE NEWS FLASH
Red Bridge Stables Burns
A recent telephone call from Mis­
souri revealed the startling news that
Red Bridge Stables in Kansas City
burned Saturday, December 2. Dr.
Ralph Baney, owner of the mid-west
facility, stated that lightning caused
the fire that started during a storm
about 10:00 AM.
All of the horses, including MID­
NIGHT SECRET, the stallion that
recently topped all price records for
a light horse at auction, were safely
removed before the fire reached a
peak. The stables being located in­
side the city limits of Kansas City,
the fire alarm was answered immed­
iately by metropolitan trucks and
became what constituted a three-
alarm fire. Water was pumped from
a lake located on the Red Bridge
Farm property.
More than 20 horses were remov­
ed from the burning stable and were
put in the basement of a building
located nearby. Dr. Baney gave par­
ticular praise to the many people
who came to assist in the removal
of these horses during the fire while

NEW CORNER BUCKET
FROM FORTEX
Fortex Industries, Inc., has intro­
duced a new type of corner bucket
which is claimed to be a modem
achievement for feeding and water­
ing horses. The unit, model B500-20,
is being distributed by its sole ag­
ents, Fortex Enterprises of 44 White­
hall Street, New York, New York
10004.
Made of the same crush-proof For­
tex molded rubber-fiber material that
is used in the Fortex feed tubs and
pails, this bucket will take all the
punishment horses can give it and
still look the same. The bucket can
be rammed without hurting the ani­
mal and it will always keep its shape.
The rubber-fiber construction is said
to unharmed by salt, chemicals in
feed or weather, and it cannot rust,
dent or chip. Easy to clean, because
it’s molded in one piece, the mold­
ed round bottom has no seams to
trap dirt. It is unharmed by strong
detergents, acids and soaps. An al­
uminum corner bracket, model 1500,
is available to hold the bucket in
comers. The bracket has a perma­
nent adjustable bail-pin which locks
bucket in position so that the ani­
mal cannot upset it. The B500-20
has a 5-gallon capacity with a top
diameter of 14” and a height of
10-7/8”.
