Is there any indication of the time he was stolen?
Have local cctv been checked for any horseboxes or trailers?

Someone who lives in a house up on the top field said that he last saw the pair of them at lunchtime on the friday,he told me that when he walked his dog at 5.30pm no sign of either of them. The man (J) who owns the field caught the section A but couldnt catch my cob (no way he could of got out alone) The man (J)had left cob there in the field,knowing he couldnt get out and I recieved a call on Sat lunchtime. Got there and cob was gone,no sign of him anywhere.Searched everywhere. No cctv in those fields. knowone saw anything!!!!!!!!!! Locals even went walking their dogs and nothing.Friend been riding all over the forestry etc no sign of him.Ads everywhere still nothing. Got ads in local paper,post office,preloved etc. Dont think hes around here,as someone would of seen him by now as its Been 6 weeks.
My guess he was taken sometime on friday the 4th may.

This is probably my suspicious mind working overtime so please forgive if I've got the wrong end of the stick....but....how well do you know J who owns the field? Is he a trustworthy sort? Is there any chance at all that he's had something to do with your Flash's disappearance? Or could he have innocently mentioned to someone dubious that the horse was by himself in the field? How easy would it have been to take him out of the field and load him up (road access etc)?
Please please disregard all this if I'm on the wrong track, I just had to ask..

The man who owns the field is ok,known him for years,used to have ponies in same field when his parents were alive.Thing is the horse and pony got out from their feild into the other farmers field which all go into one and other at the top is a gate and wall.(which leads to a different farmers fields) There is also a gate (told its always kept closed cause of the sheep and lambs) that goes into the forestry,and that can be reached from the main road,via forestry road,however there are two houses,one by the gate into forestry and another in the field. We did find prints going into another neighbouring farmers field right up top,
where we found hoof prints in a dell and there was only one set of prints going back up (section A).They could of taken him out from a gate leading into a yard,know one is living there at the moment. The other farmer further up has been keeping his eyes open.Man who owns my field is trustworthy.I dont even know how they got thru the gate by the wall??????

Yes I am worried sick,earlier I was looking at photos of him on my mobile,I started sobbing. I also keep looking at ads,no sign of him though.Thanks everyone for your help and support.
Wish I could find him and get him home where he belongs.

I think you have made horse owners aware that taking good photos of their horses is essential.
I also think he has been stolen as when our horses have escaped I.e. we have fallen off they have run home, one threw a boy off when hunting and was 10 miles away, he had never been there before but he knew his way home.
And I don't think your boy would have gone far without his friend.
It's also people looking on the forums they go on and looking at posts that show people who have bought new horses.

Yes pics are important. I just found some more photos of him,they are on my mobile,so will have my daughter (shes 14) put them on the web and then add on here.There are clear photos of his sides. I dont think he would of gone far without ponio as she would always make sure hes in sight and follow him as she usually goes nuts if hes out of sight. Now shes on her own. I think he was stolen and they must of spooked her as shes even more wary than before (she doesnt like to be touched). I just cant understand how they managed to catch him,unless they had loads of food.( he doesnt like men and is very wary of strangers).Dont understand it.
I keep looking at ads too. He is microchipped.

Loosly linked, I know.... but my OH knocked down a dog once (accidental, of course). Luckily, he was chipped and turned out the owners had been searching for their stolen dog for some time. My point is, there's still hope, don't give up! I live close to you, please let me know if I can help in the search.

Whats your gut feeling tinsel toes? x What do you think has happened to him? x I put up some posters/leaflets at the local shows i've been to around Gloucestershire, (where people leave schedules for future shows) I know i'm not local to you but i guess he could be anywhere? x
Do you think he was stolen and the pony got out if they didnt shut the gate afterwards? x
I hope he's ok where-ever he is, bless him! x
Have insurance been any help? x I think mine covers so much towards costs to help recover them?
Poor pony!

This happend to mums dog too. She had been chipped and to cut a long story short the people that found her informed the wrong people. She was never scanned and many weeks later after mum placed adverts everywhere eventually placing one in the local paper was she reunited with her dog. Xxx

Insurance USELESS Its E&L grrrrr.( they havent refused me yet but theyre giving me a lot of we need this,we need that. They even want to varify the original reciept. Geeeez I thought the police had crimed this but they havent so I have emailed E&L and told them about the drag marks and pooh I found. Gut feeling tells me hes been stolen as poor pony shes lonely and more nervous than before.. I am having a loan (another Flash
from someone I know soon and she will have company.(Eventually I will buy him). I dont know where "Flashes" is but hes NOT around here. The forestry commission havent seen him nor have Neath or swansea enviomental health (who pick up stray horses). .Even riders have been in the forestry and up the mountain,a man and his uncle went biking up there and could see for miles and nothing.Thanks for putting the posters up for me. Hes vanished into thin air!!lcharles

I would imagine that if he was around the forest/mountains etc and he'd just wandered off after getting out he would of come back by now or someone local would of put him in their field and you would know about it.
Hope he's ok where-ever he is x Is there no CCTV anywhere local-ish, I'd imagine if someone took him they must be local or know the area to know where he was.
Hope everyone keeps there eyes peeled, thing is if anyone saw him, what would they have to do, just call the police? Police aren't overly helpful though and I can't see them coming to a horse show or elsewhere immediately to check it out!
