It must be absolutely heartbreaking to have your horse stolen.

I do so hope they get him back.

Get it onto the Stolen Horse Register asap so that details are circulated to all Horsewatch groups throughout UK

Between 1900hrs on the 9/6/8 and 0800hrs on the 10/6/8 a black 2yr old colt has been stolen from a field in Maisemore. It is a 15hh TB x Irish Draft. It has a long mane and had had its feet rasped on the morning of the 9th. The offenders have gone through the farmyard into the field at the back of the farm and taken Oliver. There was another horse in the field but that has been left.

Any information please ring Glos police on 0845 090 1234 and quote inc no 102 10/6/8.
This theft cannot be linked to the 2 eastern european men taking photos at present.

I'll keep my eyes open, i keep my horse in hartpury up the road from the college and maisemore so any news or info i'll post on!! It's terrible that we all have to watch our horses like hawks - i thought owning horses was supposed to be a leisureable not worrying, I hope these people get caught and get whats coming to them!!!

 

[equiweb]

Please ignore the e mail above as the horse has been found.
It wasn't stolen it has escaped, and then got itself stuck in a ditch and died.

 

[Shilasdair]

I'm so sorry for the owners.

This is so sad, and awfully similar to the case in Bradford

.

There is something I don't understand though....on the Stolen horse register it says that the horse's headcollar was also taken....I guess this was just misinformation.

 

[the watcher]

I think when a horse goes missing there is an element of panic - and at that point many things are assumed that may turn out not to be correct.

 

[Shilasdair]

Perhaps the poor youngster was wearing the headcollar when he went missing? I know that area quite well - it's much rougher countryside than it looks.
