Thanks. How could they put him thru the sales as hes chipped and passported in my name.Yes his spots are very distinctive.Easily spotted.

Sadly very easily! Unfortunately the chip/passport system is only observed by responsible owners, the ones who deal in stolen horses never did and never will take any notice of the law! You should be thinking about distributing photos to all the auctions just in case the worst has happened and he isn't just 'playing' in the forest. I hope you find him soon, it must be a terrible worry.

I'm very sorry you have not found your boy.

Honestly though, I would be treating him as stolen by now.

Horses aren't stupid, they have pretty good survival insticts, mine know when we turn for home even if the dont know the route.

My boy escaped onto the moors a couple of times in the past. Once he had done a bit of exploring he came back to his friends and home. They are herd animals and where would he find company in the forest.

I would be putting his details to everyone as a stolen horse, markets, charities, slaughterhouses. Cant do any harm, just in case.

He is on the STOLEN HORSE REGISTER,Also on NED,all over FB and here and in the papers online.I am going to change the status on NED as stolen.I have contacted a equine vet and will send them pics monday. I will contact potters and turners tomorrow and try to find out auctions etc. I am soooooooo worried as I know he would of come home by now and another thing he and the section A have been together all their lives and how come she didnt follow him? I find this very very weird as she stresses if he left her side.

Thanks for all your help.

Potters said its unlikely hed go thru there but had me send all the info I have,microchip number,crime ref number,details of horse,pics.etc
So they seem to be really helpful.

I'll probably be at Beeston tomorrow, so I will keep an eye out there. It's a long shot, given how far away we are, but it's worth a look.

Nothing at Beeston. Lots of gypsies (both human and equine!) but none with your boy's markings. Hope he shows up soon x

I found out today that a 2 year old red and white colt has been stolen from Swansea about 2 weeks ago.
I hope Flashy turns up soon.
