The certificated flight instructor (CFI) reported that he was taxiing the airplane to the active runway.

The CFI then taxied the airplane into a fire hydrant, resulting in damage to the right horizontal stabilizer. The CFI reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from a fire hydrant while taxiing to the runway.
