bless you worst nightmare to find that.

We had a major theft on our yard a few weeks back, then suspicious undoing of the front straps of some horses rugs(to look for freezemarks we think).
then a strange man lurking around the footpath near the yard

I could not sleep that night and ended up being up from 2am and driving by the yard at 3am.

I was so worried going to the yard the next morning .

So glad something happened to send them away and your little shettie is safe

Could I remind you of the importance of Freezemarking horses on their shoulders as anyone can see a Freezemark and identify a horse by it. Also ensure that you keep photos of your horse (from front, rear and both sides) in a safe place so that in the event of theft or straying these can be distributed to Horsewatch and the police.

she had all those freeze mark chipped and passported we have many photos of her over the past 2 yrs its just sad that people will stoop this low and dont seem to be deterred by any of it,

Well done on Freezemarking your horses. I am afraid that I have had alot of reports of Shetlands being stolen this year. Many appear to have been moved in transit type vans vans. This is because many police forces have a policy of stopping any horse boxes or horse trailers between the hours or midnight and 4.00 a.m. in an attempt to deter horse thieves.
