Cody Horse Trainer Rebuilds After Barn Fire Devastates Business And Belongings

Meredith Zajac was just hitting her stride with the Wyoming Horsemanship Academy when disaster struck. Less than two weeks before Christmas, a barn fire wiped out not only her training space, but all her saddles, tack, lesson materials, and even personal belongings she’d accumulated over a lifetime.

“It was the classic nightmare,” Zajac said. “Someone knocking on my door at 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning to tell me my barn was on fire. Luckily, it was during the day.”
