network of finders

[horsymum]

would anyone be interested in starting a network of owners/horse lovers helping others find stolen or past owned horses?i would be willing to co ordinate in north norfolk.there are a lot of sites and one where everyone could meet may be usefull.let me know what you think.

 

[ISHmad]

That is what Horsewatch does, well in respect of stolen horses, tack, trailers etc. Have they got a group in your area? If not they would definitely appreciate you starting one.

i would - having had a horse stolen - the more people looking - the better - i have a my space for spirit at - findingspirit.spaces.live.com

 

[ISHmad]

Also really important to publicise freezemarking. Out of the horses which go missing, the freezemarked ones are the ones which are pretty much always recovered.

Are you both members of your local Horsewatch? That is a nationwide network of horse lovers committed to helping find lost/stolen horses

Debbiespirit, really sorry to hear of your loss.

You should speak to your local police about linking in to Horsewatch, if there isn't a local group pm me and I will help you set one up.

 

[spaniel]

Echo The watcher. Find your local group and become active within it. If there isnt one there are a number of us here who may be able to offer advice in setting one up.

 

[chrishedges]

The Beds Horsewatch is one of the most proactive Horsewatch Groups in the country. It's not in my area, but I know some people involved in it and they are excellent. They would really value new members too.

 

[horsymum]

horsewatch is great...but...i searched for 14 yrs for a pony,and i believe that a network of emailers, as times have changed wouldnt hurt.looking out for eachother

 

[horsymum]

anything i can do?i sell tack locally and would be willing to distribute leaflets

 

[horsymum]

my pony was freezemarked.its no good unless the new owners apply and change ownership,passporting may have changed this .lets hope so

 

[horsymum]

I have just contacted the Essex Horsewatch. and asked about setting up a horsewatch site in my area as there isnt one here.
they said they would send me a pack on how to set one up.
I am in Nottinghamshire. and if anyone who lives in the area would like to help please pm me and let me know where you live in notts and i will let you know when i have done some genning up. we need as many people as we can get.

Thanks A_Friend

 

[horsymum]

thats great!i have just started enquiries to starting a site in north norfolk,hurrah!lets find them all!

 

[Searcher]

Thats great as there isn't one there either,
I have had so much feedback from people all over the country, it's heartwarming to know there are so many caring people out there.
Your right we have to stop them getting away with these crimes the more we can get involved the better.
