Does anyone know anyone who has had a black mini Shetland mare and foal stolen over the last few months. They were "dumped" in a vacant field near me and someone has been feeding them over the winter.However, last night they escaped along with a yearling donkey colt and I finished up having to try to keep them contained until (eventually) the police and ILPH have taken over, not before they had escaped from the enclosure I made for them and finished up on the main road (which was what it took for someone to take it seriously!). The mare and foal are both very nice animals. The mare is extremely shy and although she has a headcollar on we couldn't get anywhere near her. The foal is very friendly and halter broken, as is the donkey. I can't help feeling that someone somewhere is missing them! They are now on their way to Ada Cole. Anyone with any information, please contact Karen Broad at Welwyn Garden City police station. 01707 638000 (Hamlet house 2 days ago)
