Not being funny but are you genuine or is this a hoax? Because the fact you have a post count of 1 makes me slightly suspicious......

Apologies if that isn't the case.

So what did the police say, and did you photograph the vehicle and the men?

What was the reg of the toyota?

 

[keekee]

Didnt you approach them and ask what they were doing i know it could be dangerous if they r the theives but i wouldnt be able to help myself...............

Not a cowboy hat

Just a theory, if I was a horse theif I wouldnt be pissing about watching them for the past how ever many days, especially now you have realised, I would have taken them by now...

and if you were so worried why didn't you go up to them?

Onions and carrots 'ey? Perhaps theyre trying to befriend your horse.......... I know children who are passing sometimes come and feed my horse some carrots etc.

as to the person who asked me if this was a hoax why would i bother my time in writing this out and as for the people who asked me why i hadnt approached these men simply because iam on my own at night approaching 2 unknown men who i dont know i done the safest thing and that was taking there details passing it on to the police who is now instructing all police officers if they see any horse vehicle on the road early hours of the morning etc to pull them over and investigate further they cannot do alot about these men acting suspicously around my field as they have not done anything wrong and as for the person that said they would of took my horse by now then you would obviousley of been caught by now as well if you cant understand these people just dont spot a horse and say right im taking this horse tonight or tomorrow they will watch the comings and the goings of the land so they know when the best time is to come and take them they all know must of us have routines with our horses they are not stupid people thats why the police have not yet found them i come on here to inform people of what i have witnessed my self for the people that do live around my area and like i said for the people that asked me why i hadnt approached them and thats simple i have children waiting at home for their mammy to come back you dont know what these people are capable of

Is there any chance in future posts you could use capital letters and some full stops?
I often make mistakes myself with not pressing the shift key hard enough but your post was really difficult to follow as one long rant.

They must be stupid if they think that you wouldn't be on your guard after seeing them there several times...and maybe the police haven't caught 'them' because they haven't actually done anything wrong, yet. As pointed ot in a Police statement earlier this week: "It's important to remember that no crime has been committed. It is not an offence to take pictures of animals."
It is good that you have reported the suspicious behaviour though.

The Police are 'keen' to speak to these men but chances are they don't have any registered details in the UK(great thing about being part of the EC) so it's going to be hard for them unless they can actually catch these men at it.

When I was kid there was a man who used to come and sit outside my horses' field every weekday lunchtime. when we approached him he said he just liked watching the horses while he ate his lunch. Fair enough I say.
