An article dated April 26 by Taos News says the home was leveled by a fire, but founder Judy Barnes told Western Horse Watchers that insurance investigators believe it was an explosion.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help with rebuilding.
Barnes started the nonprofit in 2007 to care for the mustangs of Wild Horse Mesa.
