Moreover, the local equestrian club's stable was completely destroyed, with five horses and four ponies inside at the time of the attack. The owner's beloved horse, a mare named Camellia, perished, while another suffered severe injuries.

Other animals were successfully rescued and relocated to the Stetson club. The club also assisted dogs who were traumatized during the attack.
