Are you sure it's 'tagging' and not wind plaits? Or a child going in the fields and plaiting?

But there again, first poster telling to spread the word around without a police log number????? One and only post, if it came from a regular with hundreds of posts it would be more believable

I agrre with you .Load of cods wollop again no doubt.Havent heard anyone else mention it.

The police will confirm that there have been NO documented cases of horses being stolen after being "tagged" in this way.
I'd have thought with modern technology the efficient way to identify the horse to be stolen would be to take a photo and send it to the thief's mobile.

oh please God not again......I can't bear anymore of this tagging nonsense.

If you are worried GET YOUR BL**DY HORSE FREEZEMARKED.

No one tags horses prior to stealing them.

Well said both.If a thief wants your horse HE SURE WONT TAG IT TO WARN YOU ,HE WOULD JUST SNEAK UP AND TAKE IT. out of the blue.

Well, that too.

I mean, we have a car thief round here that went round putting post it notes on cars saying "Steal this one tomorrow night!" but he never went anywhere...

(it's a joke, btw, but hopefully will help people see how blinking rediculous this tagging rumours are!)

If it was true there would be lots of police reports BUT there are NONE none at all!!!!!

Its all a lot of c p trap people got nothing better to do than spread this around and around.

If people are so worried THEN GET YOUR HORSE FREEZED MARKED!!
