Authorities reported the barn collapse on South Berry's Chapel Road.
Franklin firefighters had to "stabilize" two areas of the barn and "then cut a path to reach the horses and bring them to safety."
Four horses were reportedly inside the barn at the time of the collapse but are alive. A veterinarian responded to sedate the horses so that responders could move the debris.
Franklin Fire officials did not release the cause of the collapse.
