Message from Crackenthorpe Stud near Appleby Cumbria

Has anyone lost a piebald miniature Shetland pony mare? Found near Crackenthorpe, Appleby.
Would suspect has foal somewhere or has had one weaned recently – still running milk.
If any information on owner call 07900910356 thank you.

Poor little mare, she couldnt be in a better place than this stud. I am sure she will get all the help she needs. I just hope that there isnt a foal badly injured in a ditch somewhere.

Poor little mare , unfortunately the liklihood is the foal is in the back of a van somewhere. :mad:
They have stolen 4 and 5 week old foals here , never seen again. :mad:

Now would I be a Kentish lass, or a lass of Kent?

You considered she is a gypsy horse?

Our neighbours had a wondering shetland who pushed things to the limits with her wondering (stopped traffic once!). She had a foal she would take everywhere with her and he carried on escaping either after she was tethered.

I'd be out there looking for the foal though. Sounds like she's left him somewhere safe!

Update

Mini shetland, full set of adult teeth, mainly white with few brown patches. no microchip. Suspect poss been dragged along road, happened on A66 last friday late afternoon. Mare currently being well looked after by local farmer. Major injuries to back leg requires major and prolonged veterinary attention, could really do with finding an owner to discuss mares future!(or donations towards treatment/ someone with time and money to take her on)

Few suspicious circumstances- any info please ring Appleby police station"

What is your point, and how is this relevant/does it help?

someone posted a thread in new lounge the other week about a horse being dragged behind the back of a van the other day, i think it was in the same area. I would suspect this has been the case again with this poor shettie and it has just been left to suffer, lucky for the mare someone has been kind enough to take her in.

Tilly now appears to be at Redwings judging by pictures with Xmas catalogue received this am
Sadly they do not acknowledge the huge efforts made in Cumbria by individuals and vets without which she would have been pts at road side.
