No he wasnt wearing a headcollar,no sign of him yet.Still looking.The farmer is going to go around on his quad bike later,so hopefully he might see him. Flash hates quad bikes. I just hope hes ok. Worried sick and Im stressing out now.he is my baby,dull as it sounds.He could be anywhere as all the fields go into one and other.Might be up the mountain or in the forestry. Just put ad in paper online etc.Going to put ad in local tack shop.Phone farrier and vet.
NED and microchip company informed and posted as missing.Horsewatch south wales,listed as missing,on a local website for missing pets,listed as missing.On here and FB. Other missing horse group on FB. Will keep you posted. Have crime ref number now.

If YOU posted about the farmer, you might have more of a chance of triggering someone's memory or whatever...
This doesn't add up.

I did talk to farmer and nothing as yet.Will keep you posted.Im so worried.Havent eaten today or yesterday,well not properly.Worrying where on earth he is,is he ok? I want him home.
If worst comes to worst and something did happen to him I want to know so then i'd have closure.It horrible not knowing where he is.Things going through your mind thinking is he alive or stranded and cant find his way home.

Just a thought, it might be worth getting in touch with the Brecon MRT, they are experts in searching these sorts of areas, although they all work so it might have to wait until the weekend. They normally do training exercises on weekends, and they might be able to help you search a wider area. Just looked at the area on google maps, it's a pretty large area to search on your own. Might be worth taking the pony into the forest with you, if she calls out, he might just answer.

Good idea.She was calling him tonight and it brought tears to my eyes.might take the
section A for a walk thru the forestry tomorrow.She will call him.
Your right it is a huge area,goes for miles and miles and miles.
Had to fix the fences again today as pony got into the field again,think shes looking for him and she wants the other farmers sheep as company.Both Flash and Ffion have been together since sept 2005 and theres no other horses in their field and shes now on her own. He is also listed on here

Will let you know if I have any news.

Is there an update on this lost/stolen horse?
If the horse has not been found may I suggest you ask the local gliding/flying club if any of their members would be able to assist in the search of this lost horse with their gliders/fixed wing planes or helicopters.
Also get the gate replaced with a kissing gate so that it will allow walkers through but not animals. (Available from a company called Centrewire).
Could any hoofprints be seen on the ground on the other side of the gate?

Brilliant.I thought maybe he might of wondered up by Gwyn gwillym farm but nope,they havent seen him. Have been up as far as I can but nothing. If I had a horse to ride Id go up the mountain.
Still no sign of him.Did get a phone call from Ireland saying something about horse being in country down in a field between a carpark and busy traffic? Gave the number to the police but when they phoned him he didnt know anything about it and no clue who used his phone.Hoax call grrrrrrrrrrrr
Thanks everyone,

He is NOW on the stolen horse register.
Still no sign of "Flash" here are his details.Very concerned now.
He has spots on one side of his body around one of the patches. He also has a mark on his blaze.Hes got white eyelashes on the one side and black on the other.Has a black and white mane and some feather.He also has a cresent shape mark on side of head. Pictures to follow of all his markings.
Suffers from mites on the left back feather only.Loves rubbing his head,etc.

You must be so worried, I wish I lived closer and was able to help you to search. Would there be any way to get a bunch of local riders together at the weekend to comb the area? Although I'm sure you've thought of that already. Were there no clues..tyretracks or hoofprints?

Saw hoof prints in the fields.Funny thing is that the section A and him have ALWAYS been together all their lives and its weird that she didnt follow him.
I am very worried as he doesnt like men and I find it strange hes just gone into thin air.

Have you called all the vets within a decent radius? A lot of vets keep a register of missing animals in case they are called in to treat a stray, and some will let you put a post up in their waiting room.
Also try contacting local doggy groups like puppy training clubs, agility clubs, dog walking clubs and professional dog walkers - if he's in the forest or on the mountain dog walkers are your best bet of spotting him, and he's very distinctive so it shouldn't be too hard to see it's him!
Good luck.

I'm sure it must be very worrying for you that he is missing and I'm sure local riders would realise this too and be up for helping if you asked them.
I have to say though, it would take more than a mountain to stop me looking for my horse if he was missing.
I really hope he turns up soon. Good luck

My friend and her mates have been riding up the forestry and my other friends husband works in the forestry and the forestry commission know hes missing. He might of been stolen.Local people know my horse (everyone knows everyone else) and I know they walk up the mountain,but saying that he could of gone miles. Local farmer keeping eye open when he checks his sheep/lambs.
Thanks everyone for your help/advice. Will keep you posted.Heres some detailed pics of Flash!

Im so sorry you still havnt found your boy, but bear in mind if stolen someone might have changed his appearance by hogging his mane and clipping his legs. If anyone is going to sales this is worth bearing in mind although his spots are very distinctive.
Good luck op and hope you find him soon.
