One bay filly, one skewbald colt. Police have been notified, if you have any info please contact police. I will post crime ref no when i have this info. Vehicle or vehicles were seen by others in the area acting suspiciously, I will post more info as i get the facts. thankyou

Just to add both are microchipped and are actually 10 months old not 9 as previously stated. The owner is understandably devastated, please keep your eyes open. They are both well bred, much loved, quality animals thankyou x

Really sorry to hear this. Have you contacted and informed your nearest Horsewatch Group? This is Horsewatch Scotland on FB:

Are all the surrounding areas/fields/countryside being checked in case they have escaped from their field?

Contact all the local riding establishments/farms/yards and feed stores to put out the alert.

Hope they are found OK (Though why anyone should bother stealing when they can get them for nothing! )

This is being shared round Aberdeenshire via FB. I hope they are found soon safe and well.

They look very good quality & there is always a market for quality.

Found in a wooded area near braidwood and are currently on their way home Thank you all for your help x

What a relief. Is it believed they were stolen and dumped, or just escaped and strayed?

So glad they've been found though.
