FOUND Swinderby, Lincs - Black Cob Gelding

[meardsall_millie]

Found in Swinderby, near Lincoln this morning. Black cob gelding. Rugged up and clearly well cared for.

Not recognised by any local people so possiby stolen and dumped?

He's safe and uninjured but a little confused but is being well looked after. Lincs Police have been notified but have received no missing/stolen reports so far.

If you know anything about him please PM me. I'll check the Forum periodically through the day.

Oh gosh, poor little mite. Thats only a few miles from me!

**Quickly looks out of the window to check Twirlie hasn't done a runner!! **

Hope he is reunited with his owner very quickly, he must be so confused.

pics would be good. description of rug maybe?
hope his owner's found soon, poor lad.

I know what you're saying K but really need to leave some details out to aid identification by the 'real' owner iyswim.

Just been having a think, and you don't think the little chap has got out of those riding stables next to Morton prison do you?? They often have them living out rugged up along there...

Just a thought anyway...

Who's he staying with at the moment?

 

[meardsall_millie]

All the local yards have been contacted - so no. Good thought though.

He's currently on Ben Smith's (farrier) yard. Tbh if Ben doesn't know him, he's probably not very local!

 

[fatpiggy]

Farriers and dentists are the people to ask if they know him. Unfortunately he may not have been missed yet- you'd be amazed how many people think that a horse that lives out need only be checked on once or twice a week.

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

He isn't from the place just at the back of swinderby is he? I can't remember the name of the family - they have a plant hire company. They've got a load of cobs etc.

 

[meardsall_millie]

You mean the Maher's? No - tried them too!
Thanks though. x
