Sure he didn't just get his leg stuck in the barbed wire and pull the fence down himself ?
It would seem strange for a potential thief to wrap barbed wire round the horses leg ?? Any other signs of people being there ?

My thoughts exactley, my filly went through a barbed wire fence the other day, the wire snapped leaving a cut look but I know it wasnt as I was there (thankgod no injuries).
