Missing ! Please read

[Bestdogdash]

Folly, a 13hh, 39 year old grey (white) pony, either broke out of, or was taken from her field last night, sometime between the hours of 10pm and 6.00 am this morning, right next to the farm house.

The fence was found broken this morning, and she was the only horse missing. The original assumption was that she has broken out to find somewhere quiet to die away from her 'herd' but we have search the entire day and she is nowhere to be seen. She is very elderly and not able to go far or fast, so it is very worrying not to see her (no one in the village or any other farmer has seen her either). The owner is distraught - same home on the farm for over 30 years. No other horse was taken, but she was v v easy to catch, and the flighty youngsters aren't.

She went from Wistow near Selby in North Yorkshire. Any help or info so gratefully received, and a substantial reward offered.

I'll spread this around the people I know. I'm a bit further north than that but have friends in that area. How awful. Poor mare. Are there any contact details please for people to get in touch?

 

[Bestdogdash]

Thanks Snowdrop - it just gives the poor owner some comfort that the word is getting out. I have never seen anyone so upset. Anyone can contact me, any time, it info on 07776131135

That's really sad for such an old pony. I hope she is found very soon. Poor owners.

Has the owner been in contact with the nearest Horsewatch group? Is this one any use?

Try and get a photo and details onto the Horsewatch group above and hopefully they will share details and then other horsewatch groups nearby should share too.

Have called owner for photo - will hopefully get one soon. Thanks for the horsewatch suggestion - wasn't aware of it , so great tip, (all because I am scared of Facebook!) will get her onto it !

 

[stormhorse]

has this been reported to the police? Has the owner a crime ref no so that the pony can be put onto the stolen horse register pages?

The pony has now been found - sadly she has slipped into a very deep dyke and possibly drowned but we suspect that she passed away and then fell in. Although the dyke banks were searched, she was hidden by reeds.
At least all concerned with her know what happened and have closure, much worse to sit awake wondering who has her or if she is scared and confused somewhere.

Thanks to all for you help and interest, I know the owner much appreciated it.

Thanks for posting to let people know and as you say at least the owner knows the outcome. Poor pony.

It must be a very sad time for the owners.
Thanks ever so much for posting as most people don't bother once the horse has been found.
