poss stolen horse-found please pass on

'Folks

I had a call from a lady living in Stilebridge, Maidstone today. Her land backs onto scrub land used by Travellers to park horses for a while. Today there

Is a clipped dark bay 15’ mare on the land, complete with blanket and rugs and looking too good to just be “parked there”. She believes she may be stolen.

The mare has a hogged mane and a small white star under the forelock. She thinks she may well have been grazed with other horses as she tends to gravitate towards the fence near her own animals .

I have checked Essex and can find nothing reported stolen that matches that description, she can send me photos, all of which might take a day or two.

Does this description match any that you know about in your areas??????

I am now off A/L until Tuesday, but you can either reply to me at Broomsticks1@aol.com (home) or 01371 810313 – or alternatively, if you think you might have an owner to - Mrs FREEMAN on 01622 746280

Thanks

Valerie

Blimey - that's just up the road from my house. I will ask at our yard tonight.

Could it belong to someone who has just bought her and is newly renting the field? Girl near us buys the most stunning looking horses (from the Market

) and dumps them unloved and badly looked after on the local common.

This sounds awfully similar in that the horse looks glammed up (as they so often are for selling) and kitted out, but perhaps slightly naive new owner thinks any bit of grass will do?

.

Will keep my eye out locally though for any stolen adds.....

A polo pony maybe?

I'll have a look on the other 'stolen horses' websites I subscribe to
