Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol is a dangerous cargo, highly flammable. The problem comes when it is on fire. The flames are nearly invisible. Also alcohol mixes with water and water hoses will not put out the fire, only spread it. You need a special fire fighting foam, called AFFF (aqueous film forming foam) applied in a 6% solution to blanket the fire and smother it.
With that breeding, it sounds too good to be true at that priceand you know what they say about things that seem too good to be true! And what's the bit about the buyer must pay for registration? Is that normal procedure when buying an Arabian foal? Every registered foal I ever looked at (I had Appaloosas and QHs) were registered or registration pending all paid for by the seller and the cost just figured in to the asking price of the horse. Is there some problem with the foal, and once you own it and try to get it registered, you will find out that it isn't eligible for registration? That would make sense at the price they are asking - $250 is more the price for a grade colt, not one of impeccable breeding. Make sure you take a trainer or some very experienced professional that you trust when you go to see the colt. And make the purchase contingent on a vet check by a vet of your choice, not associated with the seller - not their regular vet or any vet that works with their regular vet. ALSO, make sure the sale is contingent on you being able to get the colt registered - if it turns out to be ineligible for registration for any reason, the seller should agree to take the foal back and refund your money in full. And get that IN WRITING! If they are unwilling to agree to that, I would really worry about the true pedigree and worth of the animal. As far as if you are ready to train such a foal, only you know if you are really ready for that. Since you have experience, are going to college for horsemanship, and are smart enough to know that you will need some professional help, I think you will be fine.
