She is back - thank goodness, thought I would tell you that bit first.
Sometime after 6pm tonight, while my sister and husband were riding their 2 horses on the school someone came on to the yard. My brother-in-laws car was parked on the yard as well.
They emptied the waterbuckets out into the yard and left them out, they put a horseshoe on the lightswitch, they piled all the headcollars up in the middle of the yard, they couldn't shut one of the stable doors the used a broom to keep it closed. They left behind a headscarf and 2 cans of G&T.
They took 2 of the leadropes and instead of using a headcollar tied the leadropes around Dolly's neck. They removed her from the stable, closed the door behind them and then led her off the farm, also closing the gate. They did all this in daylight.
Dolly was seen been led thru the high street by a woman in a waxed jacket. About an hour later she was loose outside someones house and they caught her and phoned their friend, who phoned my sister asking if we had lost a horse. who said no - as she didn't think we had, but would go and get the horse and leave it in our stables until the owner could be contacted.
Meanwhile Dolly had got a bit spooked going past the Indian and had escaped again, she ran off thru all the traffic down Weston High Street, in the dark, a black horse wearing a rug.
Sarah gets to the stable and realises Dolly was missing. She wasn't missed before as her husband had put the horses away and he noticed Dolly wasn't there but thought I had taken her.
Luckily Dolly had run home and came trotting up the drive with leadropes around her neck, neighing and looking relieved to be home. She is totally unscathed from her 2 hour horse rustling traffic dodging adventure.
I am really really lucky that whoever took her must have been so drunk that they went for leadropes around her neck rather than a headcollar.
