25 horses die in French blaze

A blaze at a French equestrian centre has claimed 25 horses.

The cause of the fire at the Trieux Equestrian Centre has yet to be determined.

A large contingent of firemen fought the blaze but were only able to save four of the horses. The building was destroyed.

The horses were used for rider training and competition events from their base in the Lorraine region, near the northern border.
