Not sure who you are addressing this to, but the fact is that on a discussion group, everyone is entitled to express their opinions. That includes you, and I, and the rest of the people on this thread.

I know this is stating the obvious. The police will give a crime number if you ring them and report a break in, so yes of course your friend has crime numbers. I think the crime numbers people are asking for are the ones with reference to the horses that were stolen after being found with a plait. Not the crime numbers for a reported break in where the owner told the police that their horses were in the stables with a plait in their manes.

I've told you that the travelling community are all having hysterics over 'gorgers' believing the plait story....now....

PMSL.............very enlightening !!
Tinypony I think you are right ref the crime numbers being issued at the time of report. The poor foal that was found dead in a ditch in the field it was turned out in was initially reported stolen & there was a crime ref number attached to that.

I have heard you should plant a rowan tree near your stables to prevent witches riding your horses in the night. Am off to put a shoe over stable door to ward off fairies & that should be it unless there is a bigfoot in Bedfordshire.

Horses taken on loan and then sold on without consent is the biggest theft of horses at the moment. There are a group of dealers working amongst themselves loaning horses then selling them through a market rebuying them so they have a receipt (pretending not to know each other) and then selling them, something they get for free are being sold for thousands (don';t ask why people are buying them for that much)!!!
There are also cases of "people" who loan lots of horses then when things get tough they sell them rather than admit to the owners and arrange for them to collect them, but still keep up the sob story, they lost a baby, been made bankrupt, husband leaving them etc., we have heard it all and in this case not one thing was true!!!
So if you have a horse on loan and haven't seen it in a while but have received photos and tales of what the scoundrel has been up to chewing rugs etc., gewt in the car and drive to see your horse, don't be fobbed off with excuses, and if you get there and suddenly they tell you the horse had dropped dead a few days ago ask to see the receipts for removal, don't just accept it. We have found a few dead horses lately!!! Happily munching grass ;-)
One case the husband had died, i got a photo of him happily sitting on a swing!
All i can say is if you get a plait, take a photo, get a police incident number, report it to Horse Watch who can circulate it only with a crime reference number and make sure your horse is freezemarked. Take regular photos from all sides so that you have an up to date photo of your horse. But believe me they are not going to plait a horse then come back and steal it. They will just come and take what they want when they want it. Yes coloured cobs and shetlands are the most common horse to be stolen.

Sorry, could you just clarify that last bit. You say that they aren't going to plait your horse then come back and steal it. If that's the case, then why contact the police, get a crime number etc if you see a "plait"?

So true!
Sadly I have first hand experience...luckily it had a happy ending and the pony was reunited with the rightful owner.

MHOL, do you work in connection with the horsewatch groups? I'm amazed at how many stories even on here there are of peoples horses being taken on loan, and how little I hear about by horsewatch etc? I'm in Gloucestershire so wouldnt be suprised if we're one of the highest counties for it (being one of the highest horsey populations). Would be good, if there isnt one already, to get a weekly or monthly newsletter out?

Attempted theft at Longlevens in Gloucester on Wednesday, the landowner disturbed the men trying to load the horse, thieves attempted to steal a horse using a transit van & a horsebox they left the scene leaving the horse loose in the lane.
Although the horse has been uninjured and returned to it's owner - Everyone needs to be aware of this incident.
Please take extra care with your animals and leatherware - remember Stow Fair is next week!

MHOL, thanks for that. Any info on what type of horse? Reg on horsebox etc?
We're quite a way from Stow but will as always keep an eye out. Hope everyone else is safe!

Loving that article on plaits!
Yes, it's all Queen Mab, and if you don't post about it on a horsey forum, the fairies will be back in the night to cover your horse in ink.

I think all this sarcasm is pretty rude to be honest. It's possible to disagree, or present alterantive facts and opinions, without stooping to trying to ridicule other posters.

Dont panic
Take a picture
Remove plait
Get it logged as an incident with local police and Horsewatch if you are sure this is not a wind plait
My pony had a plait tied with bale string so tightly I had to cut the hair out--doubt he or his best friend clever enough to do that themselves.
We dont have any kids around.
I can see the grazing from my house.
We do get a lot of dog walkers but rarely strangers, they do not touch/feed the horses.
It does ''rattle you''-- was someone trying to scare me!
