No people were hurt.

There's no word yet on how the fire started.

It took ten different fire departments to put it out.  The farm is in such a rural area that water had to be trucked in to the scene.

According to its website, Perry Hill farm is a "full service Equestrian Academy dedicated to teaching children and adults of all ages."

They offer horseback riding lessons and pony rides for several occasions.
