I remember a post a while back about being careful about smoldering. If something was indeed smoldering, the hay would catch fire fast. And for some reason, I thought that short was very near the barn, so if there ended up being sparks,or something got hot, it could be a fire hazard. But again, I have no clue about layout. :-)
There isn't any smoldering... if there was any hint of smoldering or heat, I would have the fire dept here and an electrician, and I wouldn't be letting the horses near it.
All I have is an outlet that no longer works and some freaky horses this morning.
