Are you /the police aware Jackie Arnold passed away earlier this year? Can you give any more details on this horse, I could circulate posters locally but not sure if it would be okay to do this in view of the above fact.
They do seem to be aware of this if you go to http://www.missinghorsesonloan.co.uk/
click 'missing on loan' and scroll down to Sassy it states she has since died there.
It seems strange they haven't put it in the poster though.
Hi, I'm a couple of hours drive away from TF9 and would be happy to put the poster up around my area.
With knowing that Jackie Arnold has died, will it be updated to give a bit more information?
Thank you MurphysMinder, i was thinking of PMing you to see if you'd heard anything, i just can't stop thinking about this chap, i hope we hear some news or an update soon.
I'll print it off and circulate.
Fingers crossed.
I have just been alerted to this post, so apologies for coming in late, but I have been away.
The notice states that the horse was notified as missing in April 09 I believe, but there is no mention of when Jackie actually took it on loan. I presume shortly before that date?
I am loathe to speak ill of the dead on a public forum, but I will say that Jackie used to advertise on Horsehunter and in The Shropshire Star, so if you have a rough date of when the horse went on loan, it might be useful to contact them to see if a horse matching his description was advertised...

Thank you for your help, I will look into that, sassy went missing March 2008 to March 2009, but we suspect he went March 2008

Yes, sadly, I suspect he would have gone in March 2008 too...
I have replied to your email, and will do some digging around, but although I don't want to build up any hopes, if you could possibly get hold of the number for this guy that was mentioned, and it matches the number I have, then it could be really helpful.
I was really hoping this was an update saying he had been found. I still keep my eyes open though suspect he may not be in this area anymore. This has reminded me to put some of his posters up again, just in case.
This is why it's important that no matter what area people are in, it would be really helpful if people could contact MHOL with any potential sightings or info.
Sadly there are a number of horses that go missing while on loan.
This is why it is so important to Freezemark horses on their shoulders as in the event of the horse going missing it is so much easier for anyone too identify them.
By freezemarking it on the shoulder the freezemark is visible while it is being ridden out.
Most certainly always freezemark a horse prior to it going on loan.
