Make of this what you will:

I took my horse out tonight, round the edge of her field out onto our road. Young girl in dark blue fiesta reg R271 KNR (I'm 99% certain of that) taking photos of horses.

Walked past her, said hello. She asked if she could take a picture of my horse. I said "In view of the recent thefts I'd rather you didn't". Carried on over rode onto field, turned round and she was taking photos of us from behind. I asked her again to stop.

I carried on riding, and tried ringing various liveries to go get her reg number. Got hold of no-one so turned back onto road.

She'd moved down the road to the next field, was out her car taking more pictures. I asked her why she was doing that. She said it was because she loved horses.

I said, "in that case because of the thefts you won't mind if I take a picture of you, just in case", gets my phone out my pocket whilst she's mumbling something, she jumps back into car and buggers off.

She was European, early 20s. On her own.

Our yard is at Barton-in-Fabis, Notts

Thanks for reporting this and thanks for actually being pro-active

I do think that there could well be people taking pics on purpose to cause hype and hysteria in the horse world - but I am a great conspiracy theorist!

Oh no, thats scary. Have you put a poster up on the yard to alert everyone? At least you have good security up at Barton.
