Sorry if this has been mentioned before on the thread, but have you tried contacting your local newpaper to get his photo/details and coverage as an article (not advert)?

No didn't think they would do that would they? Apparently a 2 year old colt is also missing from Swansea area too.

It's worth contacting them and asking if they would do an article, to get publicity for him, that he is either missing from next door field/area or stolen.
They might do it - it's always worth asking. Someone locally may have seen him without knowing he is missing/stolen.

I would suggest that you make up a poster (offering a reward) and send it to every vet, farrier, horse market, feed merchants/saddlers, livery yards, riding schools, abbatoir and registered travellers camp in the country. Also speak to some of the dog detective organisations as they have had great success in recovering stolen dogs.

My horse has very distinctive markings. He is microchipped.Whoever has him cant re passport him.

When horses are stolen many of them go through several hands within the first 48 hours and can end up at the other end of the country very quickly. Be aware that in many cases micro-chips are not found by vets when they scan horses and they end up implanting a second one in and then re-passporting the horse. This is why a Freezemark is an excellent way of identifying a horse. The other issue with microchips is that when vets microchips horses many of them do not inform the manufacture of the microchip the details of the horse and owner so the microchip number does not end up on their database. In addition to this there are several different manufacturers of microchips each with their own database.
If you offer a reward and send the posters to all the traveller camps then you may have a chance of getting your horse back. Good luck.

I have just emailed the westernmoor gazette to ask if they can publish a article on my stolen horse who could be at appleby horse fair. Thought no harm in trying.

you mentioned a forest close to the field, could you not walk your Sec A through this forest and possibly he is there caught in some trees or down a bank and the Sec A could smell him and starting calling and possibly he could call back, just a thought, I do not think they are all stolen, esp as both of them had gone through the fence, I hope you find him and so sorry for this happening to you and to him, God Bless and pray

just had a thought couldnt you get a pack of those sniffer dogs, even try the ones for training as an exercise and let them smell his blanket and then go through the forest and that could at least tell if he ever went in the forest or on the road or if his tracks stop dead e.g. truck. would put a bit of your mind at rest, if it was me i would rather believe someone had him than he was wandering around all alone or injured, dont mean to upset you or anything just thinking what i would do and how i would deal with it.
I lost a dog many many moons ago and it still bothers me today wandering if someone had her or if she was run over and dying or starving in the bush. Good luck

My friend has been riding for miles and miles thru the forestry and on the mountains and the farmers been up on his quad,also locals who always walk dogs who know me and my horse (everyone knows everyone else around here). The forestry commission know about it too,they were informed when he first went missing.I doubt very much if he would get caught in trees as not wearing head collar.Hes used to loads of trees.
The odd thing is that the section A and cob were the only two in the field I rent (no other horses kept with them) theres no escaping from the field they got into and usually where one goes the other one follows,except this times the section A didnt follow him and I find that extremely odd as they are together 24/7 and its odd she didnt go too.If he went into the forestry or up the mountain,she would of followed him that I can be sure of.
We believe he has been stolen..Hes been gone 5 weeks now.Someone would of seen him but theres no sign of him anywhere.Got ads everywhere too.
