The stories of heroics during the Los Angeles County wildfires continue to amaze and humble us as we read and watch the many human and animal interactions that have unfolded. In one video that has gone viral, 16-year-old equestrian Kalyna Fedorowycz rode a horse – not her own – down a Los Angeles canyon road to safety during the epic wildfires. With her father driving behind her and filming, the video shows the young hunter/jumper rider encouraging Sovereignty, a large black horse that looks like a Friesian or Percheron cross, down the road as burning embers fly around them.
