(can't work out how to post a photo so here's a link to another tracing ad not for sale!)

Do you know Fletcher? NOT STOLEN!

He was my first horse and I'd just like to know how he's doing.

I sold him to Ross who unfortunately had to sell him on a year or (2?) so ago. Was sold from Saltash/ Plymouth (PL11) area but I don't know where to.

He's a 15.3/16hh welsh x tb type (maybe some hackney in there)

Big moving bay horse liked to do a funny mini rear buck thing in the school but not a nasty horse! Soooo honest and he would try hard for his rider.

He's bay with a star and snip. four white socks (see photos)

He'd be about 17 ish now.

This horse taught me so very much and I owe him a lot, if he ever needed a home I would always have (buy) him back even if he just needed a retirement home!

(BUT I'd like to point out my I am not here so that I can get him back I just want to know he's okay)

ANY info good or bad would be great.

Yes I do know of him, he's on my website.
Edit to add - It was Ross that put him on the website.

Thanks...

This is after I sold him to Ross... I don't know where he's gone since Ross sold him and unfortunately Ross hasn't replied to my email about where he may have gone to.

I always said there was a place for him with me but unfortunately I didn't know he was for sale when he was last sold. :(

I keep finding myself thinking about this special horse so thought I'd pop this up just in case someone in Devon or Cornwall knows him.

Have you added it to the d & c fb groups? There are quite a few groups for that area.

UPDATE -

Fletcher has been found! :D

Alive and well with new owners in Cornwall.

I'm over the moon! His owners have sent me photos of him and he looks well.

For those still looking for their beloved friends don't give up it's worth it in the end.
