So some of you may remember that I had my newly purchased dressage saddle stolen last October. At the time it seemed like there was no hope of seeing it again, I foolishly hadn't taken down the serial number and it had been within the 14 day exclusion policy of our insurance as I'd only just added it when it was taken so no hope of being able to replace it without having to save hard again. Fortunately we had a pretty good idea of who was responsible and in January my saddle was finally seized and driven back to our local police station for me to ID. Positively identified I've patiently waited for news as our first dressage test of the year looms. Finally I heard from the police last night that the CPS feel there's enough evidence to take this person to court. I'm a weird mix of emotions right now, relieved that after so long we may finally get justice, saddened that someone I considered to be a friend could do this to me and just a little bit grumpy that it's not likely I'll get my saddle back until the end of summer.
 
thats brilliant news, its quite often to not get justice these days.
It is sad when someone you thought of as a friend does this type of thing, but you can only take folk as they present themselves to you, if you did nt do that then you would nt like anyone!
 
I'm so pleased that they caught the person responsible, and that you will eventually get your saddle back. Our neighbour never saw her tack again:( We now keep ours in the house.
 
At the beginning it looked highly unlikely that I'd ever see it again so I do feel incredibly fortunate that we've got to this point now. I'm just so thankful to the officer that has been leading the case as he really has gone above and beyond throughout. He even drove up to collect my saddle when it was seized to ensure he was personally responsible for its safe return.
 
It's posts like this that make me wish there was a like button!

Fantastic news! :D I can see why you are a bit miffed that you aren't getting your saddle back sooner though but I can't imagine your happiness for having it back! It's a real shame that the person responsible is a "Friend" too. Proves that there are very few people in life that you can truly trust!
 
so glad you got your saddle back FF, but sorry it was stolen in the first place and that you cant actually use it for several months. What a nightmare all round. x
